[Land-speed] Petroleum Conservation

[jgmagoo at comcast.net]

Dave D, 

I totally agree. It is TRUE that cars and light trucks (under 10,000# GVW) account for only 18% of all petroleum use in the USA!

Why shouldn't the OTHER 82% of petroleum users have to scrimp and save and conserve too??   

How 'bout the manufactures of plastic packaging?  How 'bout the asphalt on the highways?   How 'bout burning oil to generate electricity in power plants?

82% of petroleum does NOT go into cars.
