According to the radio program Freakanomics, our personal transportation is the single largest fuel use and that we would all be best off living within walking distance from our jobs and importing all of our food and other goods.
Of course there are a lot of oil based goods that we toss in the trash that are going to go up in price with the price of gasoline but we should stop using that junk anyway!
At work we tow a heavy trailer around and get 9 to 11mpg, costing $100 to fill up, but it's still a very small amount of our cost, even at $10 per gallon it would be a small part of our cost.
