No - look at the example of motor fuel.

No. The price of a good is not a determinant of demand at all. The price of a good determines the quantity demanded, not the demand.

"The demand" is a curve showing the quantity demanded at each price. If price changes, you simply move up or down the line. The "Demand" does not change, because you are still on the same line.

The strongest determinant of demand is probably the consumer(s)' taste and preferences.

Write a short note on decrease in demand?

A decrease in the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase a good at the existing price, illustrated by a leftward shift of the demand curve. A decrease in demand is caused by a change in a demand determinant and results in a decrease in equilibrium quantity and a decrease in equilibrium price. A demand decrease is one of two demand shocks to the market. The other is a demand increase. A demand decrease results from a change in one of the demand determinants. The leftward shift of the demand curve disrupts the market equilibrium and creates a temporary surplus. The surplus is eliminated with a lower price. The comparative static analysis of the demand decrease is that equilibrium quantity decreases and equilibrium price decreases.
