No. I probably use less gasoline than 99% of the population. Well, maybe 90%

Yes. Reduce your demand.

No. I'm trying to explain that we have price increases ahead of supply shortage so it serves to keep demand down and this in turn means that we don't have real shortage situations. Production has flat lined so where we are taking the hit right now is in our normal growth of demand, so instead of growth we're maintaining.
It's important to realize that this is not business as usual though. Just because speculation is driving costs up ahead of supply shortage does not mean that supplies are not in a decline. In fact, Id say it pretty much has to happen this way since the supply shortage is largely predictable so speculation is hardly surprising. |

Why has production "flatlined"? It certainly can't be from lack of funds.

Other people think that Opec just decided that we had enough and doesn't want to increase production anymore despite some of them claiming that they could if they wanted. This would be the opposite of how they have always behaved so is hard to believe. |

Jet engines don't run on gasoline, silly.

For alot of people its not that easy to reduce their consumption.

In the grand scheme of things (88,000,000 bpd currently is world production) it's not that much and they've been working on getting that online for 2 years. This is significantly slower than it needs to be in order to maintain business as usual.
