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.'
