There are few chain lubes that aren't petroleum based. Personally, I don't have a problem using petroleum based products...I dare ya to try to avoid them in every day life But I don't use as much petroleum as the common American and probably less than the most people in the developed world on a yearly basis anyway. What little I use on my bicycle is a ppb in the grand scheme of things.
