It is a myth that fossil fuels are from dinosaurs. I think it is a myth that they are from fossils. The abiogenic theory of the origin of petroleum and high grade coal makes much more sense to me. I do like your logic though but in truth we use far more fuel than our puny bodies could provide.

not dinos actually. more like plants and trees(for coal) and microscopic marine creatures(for petroleum and natural gas).
its been created as a result of subjection to high temperature and pressure at great depths for millions of years. these conditions cannot be created artificially(atleast not yet). so they cant be made in laboratories. so we cant use our own remains to make fossil fuels. besides its immoral.
also fossil fuel reserves wont last for billions of years. they'll be drained dry by the end of the millanium(atmost) at the present rate of consumption and there are no chances of new reserves to be formed.
but people dont care, DO THEY!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!

Dinosaurs are just one tiny fraction of the precursor materials that form oil. Oil forms from decaying organic matter over very long periods of time. This includes plant matter as well as other animals besides dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs is not where most of our fossil fuels come from. It is from the plant side where we get most of our oil and mother nature is recycling it as fast as she can.
