Long read, some interesting data. thanks for the post. One thing people leave out of all of the portions of the "oil economy" is the plastic stuff the holds everything that can be stolen in stores.

Fuel economy in cars, trucks and airplanes has nothing to do with flex pipe running through thousands of new homes.
