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.

What are the problems associated with finite nature of crude oil?
Crude oil is the term for "unprocessed" oil, the stuff that comes out of the ground. It is also known as petroleum. Crude oil is a fossil fuel, so it means that it was made natural­ly from decaying plants and animals living under ground and in ancient seas millions of years ago. Most places you can find crude oil are in sea beds.As crude oil is a fossil fuel it means that it is a finite source and can't be re - used.

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.
