Harry,

That plus the probability that since oceans cover 2/3 of earths surface, 2/3 of worlds oil fields lie under the oceans.

Sorry, this logic is doesn't work. Oil deposits are associated with continents, of which 90% are above water.

There is little or no reason to expect large oil deposits in mid-oceanic regions.

England, even with a robust public transportation system and high gas prices still lost out to the supposed convenience of the car.

Generally speaking, it was much easier to get around English cities by public transport 30 years ago, than it is by car at the present. Parking is impossible, and traffic jams clog the roads. We lived outside Oxford 30 years ago, and it was a quick 15 minute trip into the center by bus. Now it takes 1/2 hour to drive and park.
