My logic would be to go by elimination: petroleum engineering would limit you to the petroleum industries only. Mechanical would be wider in applications, as it is used in most industries. Civil has the narrowest application of the three and is the least paid, comparatively, for the same level of experience. If you like all three disciplines, mechanical would be a more practical choice, I suggest, as it relates to your future career choices and opportunities.
