Just to be clear, I wouldn’t use “whereas” in that sentence either. Whereas compares two things that act differently. I do agree though that “even though” is correct

Whereas is unnatural here because both the oil prices and the consumption are high. If one was high and the other low, then you could use whereas.

Because you're expecting consumption of petroleum to be low due to the high price, the sentence that started with "even though" is correct.
The way "whereas" is used here is like "now that".
"Now that the price is sky high, everyone is buying!" Sounds weird, doesn't it?

It does mean that, but contrary is comparing two opposite things. In your example, both prices and consumption were high, so there was nothing to the contrary. If consumption was low, you could say, Oil prices are high, while on the contrary consumption is low. Or, Oil prices are high, whereas consumption is low.
