      Petroleum is separated into a variety of fuels—gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel—and into feedstocks for the chemical industry. Petroleum is first distilled, then each of the “cuts” is further treated or blended to provide the various marketed products. A significant effort is devoted to gasoline production, in order to obtain the quantities needed and the desired engine performance.
