Default Peak Oil - counterargument

Now you're dancing. Humor me. What could consumers do to reduce the need
to manufacture so many vehicles?


Drive them less, maintain them better. In other words, make them last
longer.


How about changing what they buy, and HOW they buy? Perhaps leasing should
be on the hit list, at least for non-business customers. That almost
guarantees that someone won't hang onto a car very long. Some cars are still
babies when they're two years old, so selling them used is easy. Others are
known to be middle aged at 2 years, and you can see them lined up at any
dealership, collecting dust. That's wasteful.
