oil-burning
Fueled by petroleum
Oil-burning describes something that uses oil as fuel for combustion: an oil-burning furnace, an oil-burning stove, an oil-burning ship.
The term typically refers to heating oil or fuel oil rather than gasoline.
In informal use, an oil-burning engine or car is one that leaks or consumes excessive oil: That old clunker is an oil-burning nightmare.
