Petrol, or gasoline, was first refined in the mid-19th century, with significant contributions coming from various chemists. The first successful refinement process is often attributed to the American chemist Abraham Gesner, who developed a method to distill kerosene from coal in the 1840s. However, the term "gasoline" itself emerged later, and the fuel became widely used with the invention of the internal combustion engine in the late 19th century.
