You heat crude oil in a refinery, and this will separate the various products almost as a distillery. Around 20 to 30 percent of the crude ends as basis for production of petroleum. This is the reformed, chemicals added making the petrol you use in your car.
So to produce 10 gallons of petrol to your car, you need around 50 gallons of crude, and produce gasoil (that can be used as automotive diesel) - say 15 to 25 gallons, and kerosene, that can be used as jet fuel - 10 to 20 gallons, and some heavy tar and 10 to 20 gallons of light nafta.
Petrol is one of the more complex processes in a refinery.
