Well, I'm not particularly happy to see the OSX dropping today, but it is nice to see that fundamentals count for something.

When you shop on line the product or products come to your home via a not so fuel efficient UPS or FedEx TRUCK. I'm not convinced that home shopping results in a net fuel reduction. Telecommuting however is a different story. Working at home and conferences by satellite as opposed to air travel will make a difference. Perhaps this will be offset somewhat by increased personal travel. Finally fuel consumption growth is most likely a global phenomena lead by under developed or developing countries, not the U.S., Europe, etc.
