Oil is used to make plastic.

Plastic is a major portion of many of the items which aren't being made or sold right now.

Probably industry demand for oil is down even more than gasoline sales.

$1 a gallon gasoline would get people moving again.When one had to think about every little trip costing $5 to $10 in fuel, many of us cut down our trips.

You are right on target. My wife is conservative but has inherited a high level OCD. When she thinks of something to buy or do, it should be done then or soon.

$50 fill ups on her Lexus changed that behavior.
