Best Answer

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is called that because it is made by liquefying (stored under pressure to create and maintain a liquid state) the very lightest components (primarily butane and propane) of the fractionation process of crude oil and/or the gases that come off with the oil at the wellhead.

It is a petroleum derivative, used as a fuel for heating and cooking and a a fuel for some LPG adapted cars.
