The word "If"

If everybody buys petrol cars, what does it mean about the oil industry?

Is this sentence a condition, or does the word "If" just mean something like "because"?

steam mach something like "because"? No. "because" doesn't make a lot of sense in a question.

Here is a sentence with "because". It answers a question.

Because everyone buys cars powered by gasoline or diesel, the oil companies will always have lots of customers.

Your sentence, on the contrary, asks a question.
