THIS is exactly what happened in Cuba when their oil supply stopped!!

This also speaks to the paridigm that has been engrained in the the minds of millions of car drivers.
Many car owners would "like" to get rid of all the grief and expense of car ownership but they , for
the most part, don't have enough public transportion to allow them to stop driving.

What many don't understand that they can go "car-light" to "manage" their car expenses wiser but
many just are to damn spoiled to even consider any hardship no matter how small.

All that said.....The only way you will get North America out of cars is to price fuel out of their reach.

Ways to cut 3% from your fuel bill and more........
