Oil is actually fairly hard to burn. You need very precise mix or air, oil and heat. The popular movie thing of throwing a lit match into oil actually does nothing. Look up how pistons work in a car engine, it's very interesting, and the mechanics behind are impressive.
Secondly, it's fairly easy to empty a fuel car before transportation, if it was ever a problem, just re-fuel at the arrival. How do you transport an EV without its battery? Do you just buy a brand new battery on arrival which cost 60% of the price of the car? And you leave the old one behind to be disposed off in the garbage?

Exactly. Oil never catches on fire. It also never needs to be transported over the water.
