Naphtha and benzene are actually different chemicals, though...
Yea yea I know they're all hydrocarbons but it's still funny.
In my country nafta is crude oil, and benzinas is gasoline, which afaik neither is actually "correct"
Huh. That’s how it kind of is in Arabic.
I never put it together that what we call “Naft/Nuft” (نَفط) is related to Naphtha. Fuel is “Benzeen” (بنزين).
