As for us using more. I don't use more. My daughter doesn't either. My son uses the same amount he did last year. People I know continue on the same track as far as work goes. And considering unnecessary travel, the idiots that travel at the drop of a hat have been doing it for a few years now. The only new consumption I can think of would be immigrants. And new drivers. No, Big Oil is making more than 10 cents per gal. Maybe that's all they show they are making. That's why they hire bookkeepers.  |
This country's population has exploded in the last decade (Thank you illegal immigration
)...
And extra 30 million people jumping in...How much oil would NOT be used if they weren't around?...
How much would OTHER countries be using had their people NOT gone to the US?...
That right there would level things out a little...
