People use gasoline for transportation and petroleum based products of all kinds. If people were not using the products that are a result of extracting petroleum from the earth, there would be no demand for oil and no oil spills. In all fairness to consumers, though, unless we are willing to go back to the horse and buggy days, demand new technology (which we actually already have) for powering vehicles, stop buying products that are made from oil ( which are more vast than the average person even knows), etc., we really have no choice at this point.
