Several things we use today are made from oil including household products and fuel for various forms of transportation. Many of the cheap flights and car trips people take every year depend on oil for fuel to get them to their destination. Oil also plays a big role in the mechanics of cars during travel and planes during flights, keeping engines and parts running smoothly and helping extend their lifetime and usability. While new ways to produce energy are being researched and discovered, oil is still the biggest resource for making fuels for automobiles and planes serving different airlines.
