no. it comes from fossils

The first answer is very wrong - Crude oil is a liquid found naturally in rock, containing mostly complex hydrocarbons, with some additional organic material. It is the major fuel used on the planet, and is used in the production of many synthetic materials like plastics as well. It is at this point in time impossible to know the true origins of Crude Oil, so therefor we do no know it it is living or non-living. Water is the same, we do not know it is living or not.

What living thing made petrol?

Petrol, or gasoline, is primarily derived from ancient marine organisms, such as zooplankton and phytoplankton. Over millions of years, these organisms were buried under layers of sediment and subjected to heat and pressure, transforming them into hydrocarbons through a process called diagenesis and catagenesis. This process produces crude oil, which is subsequently refined into petrol. Thus, the original living things that contributed to petrol are primarily microscopic sea life from prehistoric oceans.
