Car gasoline is made from petroleum, a fossil fuel formed when dead organisms like algae and zooplankton are buried beneath rocks, squeezed, and heated deep underground. People drill into these rock layers to pump out the oil, which is then turned into gasoline for cars.

Gasoline is a liquid fuel material refined from crude oil, a fossil fuel created over millions of years from the remains of tiny sea organisms. It stores a lot of chemical energy but releases greenhouse gases when burned.
