Most people are under the false impression that gasoline, ultimately, comes from dinosaurs. That's not true, because fossil fuels come from decayed organic matter, and dead dinosaurs make up only a very small portion of that.
Besides, dinosaurs became extinct many years ago. They are not abusively grown for the strict purpose of human use. They died naturally, and became bundled up with a whole lot of other dead organisms to yield what we know as fossil fuels today.
In short, your question is absurd. And mind you, I am not a vegeterian in the slightest sense.

We still are not sure the exact process that oil was made. Odds are pretty good that it came from algae and other plant life.
Only for Sinclair Oil company did oil come from dinosaurs. And besides, even if it did, no one is raising dinosaurs to produce oil. So, it would still be fine for vegans. OK, maybe on Isla Nebular in Jurassic Park but that is all. *grin*

gas is obviously not 100% dinosaur, even if it was it still would be no big deal. The dinosaurs have been dead for millions of years, you can't really cause something that has been dead for million of years to suffer, nor can you exploit them. Well, not without a time machine of coarse.

Yes, it is safe to allow your car to consume dinosaur bones. The alternative gas source is less desirable. Kinda like a mother in law who demands to sleep in the same room as you and your spouse.

nobody hurt or killed the dinosaurs for the gasoline, so yes they can.

You're really silly.
Actually, everything on earth (including you and me) is made of everything on earth--- tiny particles of plants, rocks, dinosaurs, dead people, ...ad infinum.
Vegans simply do not eat products that involve the exploitation of animals and they try not to support optional businesses which do the same thing. (Like leather clothing, etc.)

I thought vegans only rode bicycles and drove electric cars.

I don't mind using an animal part if it died a natural death.
