Is petrol man made or natural?

Answer 1

Petrol is extracted from crude oil. The question whether it is man-made or natural is therefore a grey area. The chemicals which make up petrol are natural, however it must be processed by man in order to obtain it in the form we use it.

Answer 2

Petrol is a fossil fuel that is naturally occurring. It is formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms that have been subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years.
