Oil may refer to petroleum, or to several other substances - like the oil you use to cook food, which is unrelated to petroleum.
Gas may refer to gasolene (in some countries), to natural gas (also obtained from petroleum), or to lots of other substances that are gaseous, like the air we breathe. (Note that gasolene is NOT gaseous.)
