I'm editing this answer because it was incorrect: alcohol that is used for fuel IS usually made from petroleum. While the ethanol in beverages is made by fermentation of grains or other sugar sources, the ethanol that is produced for fuel, solvents, and other industrial purposes is made from the petroleum product ethylene, which is cheaper than fermentation. This is accomplished by ethylene hydration, represented by this chemical formula: C2H4(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(l)
Methanol (another gasoline additive and also racing fuel) is produced from the methane in natural gas.
It would be appropriate to call both of these fossil fuels.

Is margarine made of crude oil?
Margarine is not made of crude oil but it can be produced using vegetable oil or a combination of oils. Margarine is a spreadable butter substitute that is made through a process of hydrogenation to solidify the oils. Crude oil, on the other hand, is a fossil fuel used for energy production.
Is glue made from crude oil?
Yes, some types of glue are made from petroleum-based products derived from crude oil, such as synthetic adhesives. These adhesives are made by processing and refining crude oil to create polymers that can then be used in glue formulations.
What is crude oil made of?
Crude oil is made up of hydrocarbon molecules, which are compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. It also contains small amounts of impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds. The composition of crude oil can vary depending on its source.
Is coal made out of crude oil?
No, coal is not made out of crude oil. Coal is a solid fossil fuel that is formed from the remains of plants that lived millions of years ago, while crude oil is a liquid fossil fuel formed from the remains of marine plants and animals.
Which mineral is kerosene made from?
Kerosene is not made from a mineral, it is an organic compound made from crude oil
Which is the costliest product from crude oil?
plastic is made from crude oil.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.
What is the name of a factory where crude oil is made?
Crude oil is not "made". "Crude oil" is the name giving to the raw form of oil that is pumped from the ground.
Is gasoline an oil?

What among the following cant be separated by fractional distillation a crude oil b liquid air c alcohol and water d a solution of salt in water?
Ex.: crude oil, liquid air, water-alcohol mixture.
Is polythene made from crude oil?
Yes, polythene, also known as polyethylene, is made from crude oil through a process called polymerization. Crude oil is refined to obtain ethylene monomers, which are then polymerized to form long chains of polyethylene molecules, creating the plastic material.
What is gasoline made out of?
