Do you have any evidence to back the implication that one political party consumes more petroleum than others? Like all religions, it seems more popular to talk about ideals than to practice them. Republicans for example, extol the principle of low government spending, but ever since Regan and the Bush's, they have been the largest spending presidents. Democrats extol the virtue of charity and distribution of wealth, but have been shown to be among the least charitable people.
It may be fact that members of the Republican party consume more oil than others, but so far I have seen no evidence of this. Al Gore, a Democratic leader and self-proclaimed environmentalist, has consumed far more petroleum than I or my entire family ever will. As far as I can tell, people are consumers by nature, regardless of political/religious affiliation. It's far easier preaching to others how to live than to be the example.
