The earth is not producing any more oil at least in the short run as it takes more than 10 million years for organic material to transform itself into oil.
Gasoline is a nonrenewable fossil fuel because it is derived from crude oil, a finite resource that takes millions of years to form. Once extracted and burned, gasoline cannot be easily replaced or replenished within a human lifetime.

No, crude oil is not a renewable energy source. It is a non-renewable fossil fuel that is formed over millions of years from the remains of dead plants and animals. Once it is extracted and burned for energy, it cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime.
Nonrenewable resources are energy sources that cannot be replenished once they are depleted. Examples include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
On average, a barrel of crude oil contains approximately 5.8 million BTU (British Thermal Units) of energy. This energy content can vary depending on the type and quality of the crude oil.

Non-renewable energy is energy produced from fuels which will soon be depleted, such as coal, crude oil and natural gas.
Gasoline is a petroleum-derived liquid composed primarily of hydrocarbons that is used as fuel for internal combustion engines in vehicles. It is a non-renewable resource extracted from crude oil through a refining process.
A non-renewable source is a product of the Earth that we use as an energy source (such as crude oil). We find these particular non-renewable sources from under the groun and in the sea, where we extract it and sell it as energy. Eventually, these resources will run out, as we are extracting at a faster pace than crude oil generates (crude oil is made from decomposed animals and plants over millions of years). This is why we are trying to use renewable sources such as wind energy. The wind will never 'run out'.
Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource because like oil it can eventually run out Unrefined petroleum is known as "crude oil" - it is oil, not like oil. Petroleum IS RENEWABLE, because it is refined from raw materials (crude oil) which is composed of minerals (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and others) which never go away. The question should be: "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR CRUDE TO BE RENEWED?" And that is a question that nobody has the answer to. Scientific evidence is inconclusive and still a bone of contention.
Yes, until crude oil (a non-renewable resource) finally runs out.
Crude oil.
Gasoline is most likely made from a nonrenewable resource, as it is typically derived from fossil fuels like crude oil. Bread is made from renewable resources like wheat, while oxygen is a natural element essential for life.
Crude oil is classified as a nonrenewable fuel because it takes millions of years to form from the decomposition of organic matter under high pressure and heat. The rate of oil consumption is much faster than the rate of its formation, making it a finite resource that cannot be replenished within a human time scale. Once extracted and burned, crude oil is permanently depleted.
Because the process that creates crude oil takes millions of years. Since gasoline is made from oil, the rate at which we use gasoline is much greater then the rate at which it can be replenished. It would be like if a newly planted tree took millions of years to grow large enough to cut down for lumbering.

Pine wood is considered to be a renewable resource because new pine trees can be planted and then harvested for new wood. This is in contrast to a nonrenewable resource like crude oil, which takes millions of years and the correct geologic features to make - we can't make more crude oil than what currently exists within the lifespan of a single human generation.
