Yes. Fuel (gasoline) is the product that is the result of the refining of crude oil.
Crude oil is composed of various hydrocarbons, with different molecular structures, including straight chains, branched chains, and rings. The main components of crude oil are classified into fractions based on their boiling points, such as gas, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and heavy fuel oil. Each fraction can be further refined into different products like jet fuel, lubricants, and asphalt.
Jet fuel is typically composed of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil. The fraction of crude oil used for jet fuel production is known as kerosene, which is a distillation product in the mid-range of the crude oil distillation process. Because jet fuel is a specialized product, only a small fraction of the total crude oil distillation is used to produce it.
The process used to separate crude oil into different fractions is called fractional distillation. It takes advantage of the different boiling points of the components in crude oil to separate them into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
Distillation of crude oil can produce various fractions such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. These fractions have different boiling points and can be further refined for specific applications.
When crude oil is heated, it undergoes a process called fractional distillation, where it is separated into its different components such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel based on their boiling points. This is how crude oil is refined into various petroleum products.
That is variable based on the quality of the crude oil, and refineries can also adjust the production of different oils. The majority of crude is converted to fuel.
When oil is pumped out of the earth it is considered "crude" oil until it begins the refining process. In short, a barrel of crude oil is "raw" until it is refined. (refining gradually strips out different chemicals like jet fuel, then gasoline, then diesel fuel and fuel oil.

Crude oil
It is derived from crude oil.
Jet fuel is typically composed of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil. The fraction of crude oil used for jet fuel production is known as kerosene, which is a distillation product in the mid-range of the crude oil distillation process. Because jet fuel is a specialized product, only a small fraction of the total crude oil distillation is used to produce it.
The amount of jet fuel that can be refined from crude oil varies depending on the specific refining process and the characteristics of the crude oil. On average, about 10-15% of crude oil can be converted into jet fuel. Therefore, from 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of jet fuel could typically be produced.

If you place crude oil (or any other material for that matter) in a container and heat the container from the bottom, and have outlets at different heights in the container wall for stuff that boils off, you get different "fractions" at the different outlets. This is fractional distillation.
