- demand will decrease due to income effect and substitution effect (meaning that consumers will not buy oil as often)


- leftward shift of demand curve


- there will be a surplus of oil, ie. extra supply


- downward pressure on prices of oil


- subsequently demand will increase again


- but the new demand level is lower than before


- however, using elasticities of demand, oil has an inelastic demand


- due to lack of substitutes and is considered as a necessity
