5x figure came from Business Week in July of course not, we are consuming more oil now but the overall US economy is much much larger and mfg has been largely shipped offshore with higher energy usage and our service sector is growing leaps & bounds, with less energy usage and our computer/communications/information economy has enjoyed burgeoning growth over the past decade or more are you telling me our technology sector has grown not at all in the last 27 years ??? take a little example: you spend X per month on energy related expenses that figure is a little higher than 20 years ago but your personal income is what, 3x larger ??? I doubt the price of gas at pump has kept pace with minimum wage !!! / Jim
