Just like the industrialists, you KNOW some savvy carpoolers and hypermilers would turn a paradigm like that to their benefit, because they would have capacity to spare and turn a buck on.

Actually we would qualify for a B placard for an 8 gallon per week quota, as the wife in her job generates a tremendous amount of recycled textile fiber and sells it along. In a wartime paradigm they'd want her doing that, more and faster.
