Are gasoline and diesel fuel both made from coal?

Gasoline and diesel fuel are both made from crude oil, not coal. Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Through the process of fractional distillation, crude oil is separated into various components, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products. Coal, on the other hand, is a solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plant matter and is primarily used for generating electricity and as an industrial fuel.
