Best Answer

There would not be any gasoline or diesel or aviation fuel. We should have to go back to coal fired steam power for transport!

There are ways of making synthetic fuel from coal, and biofuels can be grown, but would there be enough? Electric cars powered by nuclear power could be one answer, or electricity could be used to make hydrogen which would be a good fuel.

Can diesel and crude diesel be mixed and legally run on the highway?

Crude oil is not diesel fuel - it is crude oil, and you really do not want to run this through your engine. Pre-EPA2010 diesels and off-highway diesels are able to run off waste oil if so desired, but this requires pre-heating and straining of the oil (and this is oil which is already processed, not crude oil). Aside from that, such a mixture wouldn't be legal for any on-highway applications.

When will crude oil run out and why?

Crude will never run out, but it will run terrifyingly short due to the population of planet earth and the dependency on oil. Crude oil is a renewable resource although some say it is not. Oil is created over millions of years of temperature and pressure on decaying matter such as plant life or animal life. Oil will make itself just as it did when we discovered it. Though with the amount consumed today, the amount will never reach a sustainable level.
