    It’s not only cars, there are power plants running on oil, nearly every “small” backup generator runs on diesel. Also logistics, trucks, trains and ships needs boatloads of diesel.

      The person you’re replying to said that if people stopped driving cars, companies would sell less oil.

      You seem to disagree, and your argument is that energy and shipping use oil.

      Are you saying that a carfree world would consume exactly the same amount of oil, because it still has energy and shipping?
