You heat crude oil in a refinery, and this will separate the various products almost as a distillery. Around 20 to 30 percent of the crude ends as basis for production of petroleum. This is the reformed, chemicals added making the petrol you use in your car.
So to produce 10 gallons of petrol to your car, you need around 50 gallons of crude, and produce gasoil (that can be used as automotive diesel) - say 15 to 25 gallons, and kerosene, that can be used as jet fuel - 10 to 20 gallons, and some heavy tar and 10 to 20 gallons of light nafta.
Petrol is one of the more complex processes in a refinery.
Petroleum is a broad term that refers to all oil and natural gas produced globally, while crude oil specifically refers to the unrefined oil extracted from the ground. Crude oil is a type of petroleum that must undergo refining processes to be turned into usable products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Petroleum is a word derived from Latin: Petra - rock, oleum - oil. Thus, in direct translation petroleum means oil from rock and is commonly regarded as a very close synonym of Crude Oil. However, according to Britannica Encyclopedia, petroleum as a technical term encompasses: the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Petroleum is oil, more specifically crude oil, a thick mix of hydrocarbons formed from compressed plant matter over a period of millions of years.
Crude oil is the raw, unrefined form of oil extracted from the ground, while petroleum oil refers to the refined products obtained from processing crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Petroleum oil is the end product that is used for various purposes, whereas crude oil is the starting material before refining.
Crude oil, which is the primary component of petroleum, is refined in a process known as fractional distillation. During this process, the crude oil is heated to different temperatures in order to separate it into various components with different boiling points. Gasoline, which is a lighter component with a lower boiling point, is collected as one of the main products of the refining process.
Petroleum is refined from crude oil and is but one fraction only
crude oil is a petroleum
"Petroleum" products are distilled from crude oil, so what comes out of the ground is crude oil.

Petrol. actually its oil.
No, not actually. Crude oil is one type of petroleum. Petroleum is a common term for the liquid (crude oil), gaseous (natural gas), and viscous or solid forms (bitumen and asphalt).
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
