Petroleum, is a refined natural oil, used for running internal combustion engines.

The name comes from medeavil Latin Petra=rock, Oleum=Oil. 'Rock oil'.

It's shortened version, Petrol is used in the UK to describe the 'motor spirit' , which is further refined from petroleum, used in cars.

In the USA it is called 'Gasoline'
