Maybe if a Blaze hits the oil rig or if Flint and Steel and Fire Charge are being used to Oil, they can set a firey trail or the fire can explode the rig. Maybe Oil can be useful as an ingredient in TNT.
If they ever implement dynamic light sources, holding a torch should be just fine no? Maybe the oil could be used to make wind resistant torches so you can sprint with it.
Anyway, I not sure about the oil for minecart or as fuel, but I would like to see :
1 - Oil + any kind of dye = wood dye.
2 - If you oil a piston, it become much more quiet, allowing you to make secret passages or traps that are harder to find.
Ok sorry if someone already said something similar, my eyes couldn't take any more after 150 posts.
My ideas:
NO more vehicles
Make pipes out of glass, piston pumps oil through.
Oil can be smelted to make plastic.
Pipes should be crafted with glass panes:
(where X = glass panes, and O = nothing)
XOX
XOX
XOX
Pipes can be placed on top/ next to each other to form a chain of pipes.
A pipe and a piston can be crafted to can be crafted to make a pump, which can be placed periodically along a chain of pipes. Each time it is activated by redstone, it lifts oil up one block, and will keep it there. So say the oil is on level 1, when the pump is activated, the oil goes up to level 2, then stays, until is activated again, and goes up to level 3, and so on. The pump should have a range of about 12 blocks. The pump only affects oil if there is a steady chain of pipes connected, or the pump loses suction. If the pump holding oil is destroyed, the oil will be released and affected by gravity. (This could also work with water/lava)
You can collect oil with buckets, and smelt it to make a lump of plastic (which can have many new crafting uses).
I've had this idea for a while, and just wanted to post it somewhere.
...whales.
all credit goes to AlternativeLies, do not ask about downoad, it ain`t avalible yet.

He is talking about what the real world does with oil.
