I'm not quite sure what Mikko's original intent was... but I was considering oil = something liquid burning. That could be the naptha and pitch of the Esrolians to the sophisticated rock-oil lamps of the Mostali to the primitive wick and dish lamps buring deer or bear fat used by the Rathori. Or the common garden variety olive oil lamp used throughout the Lunar Empire.

I wasn't thinking of whale oil or kerosene... =)
