>>> What the heck are we going to use for vehicular transport fuel ??<<<

First of all you answered your own question. Second, if we assume 2-5% dropoff in oil production, it is really EASY to have that kind of dropoff in vehicular fuel consumption. Just stop driving the SUV and get into your sedan (not even talking about hybrids). :) This does not even require building new cars - there's tons of 1999 Honda Civics at dealers :) Or better yet, stop driving 20 miles to Walmart, McDonalds, etc. :)

If car fuel was the only concern for the Peak Oil, I would be a happy camper. It is much less easy to save in some other uses of oil.

All IMHO and I also drive 20 miles to ballroom dances so sue me :) Jurgis
