| Not necessarily because the methods of obtaining crude oil then refining it down toa use able quality  high grade motor oil is a long process....
 
 what if you could just create it out of specialized algae instead....and eliminate
 all the drilling and pumping and transporting it to a refinery....   and just make it at the refinery.
 That's where the industry is heading....
 that and electrical vehicles....
 but the infrastructure for re-charging batteries is Not in place and we're along ways away from having that as available as gasoline .
 
 But what if the cars themselves become the charging station....
 then you have a viable method of long distance availability.
 New materials such as graphene layered solar cells that are stacked ten or more thick gives you a much more
 robust way of self charging. I think Detroit has to be reborn just like the Tesla
 automobile company has demonstrated.
