Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that is heated to separate it into parts called fractions. The lighter hydrocarbon fractions boil off and leave the heavier fractions behind. Petrol is collected in the range 40-205 degrees Celsius, and has hydrocarbons with 5-12 carbon atoms. Petrol is used as a fuel in motor vehicles.
