   I'm assuming you mean the price of petrol goes up as fewer people buy   
   it, which is probably true since the petrol station and companies still   
   need to make the same profit from fewer customers.   
      
   The problem is that more electric cars also means the elctric companies   
   have to produce more electricity, which means they have to spend more   
   money to meet that increasing demand, and therefore will charge   
   EVERYONE more for the elctricity.   
      
   It's pretty much a lose-lose situation.
