1. An Authoritative Energy Source That Can Be Used By Any Vehicle

2. Stable And Reliable Energy Resource

3. Petroleum is Easily Extracted And At A Low Cost

Cons: 

1. The use of petroleum as a source of energy mostly involves combustion. Burning petroleum products leads to emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, hydro-fluorocarbons, and many more.

2 When we extract petroleum as a raw matter, one ought to refine the crude oil.  This is because, it typically exists as a mixture of hydrocarbons,  traces of sulfuric as well as other compounds.

3. Oil Spillage
