People are losing jobs left and right and can’t afford to fill the tank let alone buy one of these ridiculous $40K electric pieces of crap.

Yet the administration will dodder along acting like refuse smells like roses and the economy is coming up aces.

Idiots.

FUBO... over and over and over again... FUBO...

It’s hard to imagine a recovery where gas and oil usage are plunging.

Note that petroleum usage is back to December 1995 thru February 1996 levels.

That's because "we're in the money", everyones back to work and driving all over the place spending their wealth.....all the way up to November 6th. : D

WooHoo! Life is good once again! /s

I saw a couple of weeks ago a feature film made in one of the Soviet countries, they show major highways totally deserted, no truckers, no RVs, no cars, just a few motorbikes.

This is Obamas dream coming to reality, nobody drives, no trucking, no vacations, but plenty of recovery business for crippled and dying electric cars but only in the temperate zones as any electric car in the winter is useless.

And for some odd reason mule teams are making a comeback....

I wonder how much of the decline is due to the relatively warm winter.

Wonder what that red line will look like when gas gets to about $5.50/gal?

Is this chart based on total consumption, or is it adjusted per capita?

My friend (a prepper), who owns a trucking brokerage business, says (yesterday) that he cannot find enough empty trucks (18 wheelers) to fill his shipping needs which are at all time highs.

Vital Signs: Truck Shipments Growing

By Josh Mitchell
WSJ
January 30, 2012

The supply of goods being shipped by truck has been growing. The American Trucking Associations’ index of commercial truck shipments, by weight, rose a seasonally adjusted 6.8% in December from November. The 5.9% increase notched for the full year in 2011 was the largest since 1998. The trucking group attributed the gain to increased manufacturing production and restocking of inventories.

consumption is down so i guess it's time to raise prices to make up for the lost revenue...

The interesting thing is that the fuel usage started to crater in late 2005 by this chart. I have created something I call the Biflation Index for a book I wrote that shows the economic peak also coming in 2005.

What this means is that the wheels started coming off the bus with compassionate conservatism, well before Obama, but has continued to accelerate. See my chart here, going back to ‘48.

Over the same period, the population has increased ... so the numbers are even worse and point to a continued economic recession if not depression.

Contrary to popular belief, the decline in gasoline usage has little or nothing to do with cash-for clunkers or improved gas mileage in cars unless one fantasizes that gas mileage improvements started precisely in 2007.

We must be doing a good job of keeping our tires properly inflated.

I wonder if the "Architect" (barf), Carl Rove, will hold up that plummeting gas usage chart during one of his never-ending bore-fests on Fox?

Even a Democrat-cultist dope can understand Obama economics once that chart pops up visually on national TV.

And Carl, you don't have to explain the chart with a 5-minute monotonous monologue. Remember, one picture is worth a thousand words.

Just hold up the graph, describe it in one word, "Obamanomics", and then shut the Fluke up and disappear from the screen.

buh, buh...but....our economy is improving isn’t it? Don’t we hear this weekly with the impressive new jobs numbers (something like a 500 plus improvement from the week before - before it was adjusted downwards - again after 3 years)....After the impressive ballyhooed crowing by the media of “signs” of improvement?

After all the lack of reporting on increases in new home starts, actual high paying jobs, HIGH VOLUME and HIGH INCREASES in the stock market, coupled with record HIGH DEBT, historic high levels of public assistance in the form of EBT, EITC, AFDC, SNAP, WICs, SSI, SSDI, et al, don’t really mean anything, do they? I mean...Obama and his people couldn’t be lying, could they?
