Natural rubber
yes of course :-)
Crude oils
Rubber has traditionally been made from the sap of various plants but mostly from that of the rubber tree. However the great demand for rubber is now mostly met by synthetic rubber made from various chemical compounds, different ones for different purposes. Some of these chemicals may come from crude oil.
Synthetic rubber is made from molecules generated during the process of refining crude oil or natural gas liquids. Natural rubber is derived from rubber trees and is not derived from oil.

It takes one barrel of oil to make a single tire
"Rubbers" is the crude slang word for condoms, the most popular contraceptive offered today. Another way of saying condoms
Most of the crude oil is used to obtain motor gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet fuel, and liquefied petroleum gases. Thus the crude oil is mostly used to produce energy. Small portion of crude oil is converted into petrochemical feedstock used in production of plastics, rubber, fertilizers, cosmetics and the like.
Polyisobutylene is a type of synthetic rubber commonly used in products such as adhesives and lubricants. It is different from butyl rubber, which is a copolymer of isobutylene with a small amount of isoprene. Both materials have similar properties but are distinct in their chemical structure and uses.
The first recorded use of a crude shock absorber is the invention by one A. Gimmig in 1897. He attached rubber blocks to the top of each leaf spring. When the suspension was compressed sufficiently, the rubber bumpers hit bolts that were attached to the frame.
