I found this cute little question in a page of the November, 2005 issue of Power Engineering entitled “What Oil Shortage?” and it is as follows:
What Oil Shortage?
A lot of folks can’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage in our country.
Well, there’s a very simple answer.
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn’t know we were getting low; and the reason for that is purely geographical.
Our oil is located in:
Alaska
California
Coastal Florida
Coastal Louisiana
Kansas
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
and
Texas
Our dipsticks are located in Washington, D.C.

WG, You seem hauntingly familiar, do I know you? ;o)
I agree with you except that many Europeans don’t drive. That bike to the trains and back.
