Products based on refined oil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In our current economy there is hardly a place where one will not find a product that is a result of oil. Direct (e.g. fuel) or indirect (e.g. medicine) created from crude oil.

Now that more and more scientists are speaking about the end of cheap oil, the amount of products that are based on this oil, is still increasing.
