Fractional Distillation. Its heated at different temperatures and depending on what temperature its heated at it creates different fuels, tar, kerosine, gasoline etc.What is the process of refining crude oil to gasoline?
Gasoline present in crude oil has low octane and can have high sulfur content.

Its done through fractional distillation, crude oil is heated. The components that have lower boiling point will boil off. The vapor will be condensed and then collected. That process takes takes advantage that crude oil is a mixture of different components with different boiling points.
