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.
