Someone had better tell the Oxford English Dictionary they've got it 
wrong then:

'petroleum, n. [..] A viscous liquid, consisting chiefly of a mixture of 
hydrocarbons and varying in colour from black or dark brown to light 
yellow, that is formed by the decomposition of organic matter buried in 
sediments, is present in some rock formations (sometimes seeping out on 
to the ground), and is extracted and refined to produce fuels (esp. 
petrol, paraffin, and diesel) and other substances; mineral oil.'
