Nothing to do with trucks, freight, etc. They need to travel. The main
problem is that regular consumers need to be weaned off of large, gas
guzzling cars and Stupid Utility Vehicles. If gas prices rose to north of
$5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars more efficient
because no one would buy the gas pigs.

The point is not to "collapse" the economy. The point is to force people
to change their driving and car purchase habits.

Jon,

How about 18 Wheelers, Air Freight & air mail, Military air patrols,
Harbor patrols, border patrols? How about tripling Bridge fares?
Parking fares? School busing? Let's get the Cops back on there feet?
Trolley? How about going to Oars for Auxiliary Power, Outlaw Power
Boating.
Home Heating with wood or coal or even electric.

We have a lot of ways to change our society to do without oil. I'm
almost 80 years old and don't give a damn:^) It up to you youn'uns.
