I think the biggest waste of oil are these artificially cheap airfares. Combined with long distance globalization, or delivery from China to USA of cheap consumer products that can be made domestically in the USA. Its just natural for anti USA big businesses to make the little guys use less oil so they can continue wasting energy to spread US wealth around the world. It used to be only people with money could fly, about once every 5 or 10 years. Now they’ve got poor people flying all over the planet. Many going NY to Fla 3-4-5 times a year. When we flew NY to LA in 1979 it cost us two months rent, about equal to $4,000 today.
