People think that petroleum = gas for cars but gas is a byproduct of refining petrol. Only about 46% of it is used for gasoline. The rest of it goes to other uses like lubricants, plastics, asphalt, medicine, etc...

If we all drove electric cars, the demand for oil will still be there. We'll just have a glut of gasoline that we'll have to find another use for or find some way of disposing it.
