I know that sounds good, but I don't believe that lowering consumption does anything for the long term. If consumption rate per person goes down, all they need to do is lower the supply to meet the new lower rate; thus keeping us sucking on the oil nipple for many, many more years.
So how exactly do oil companies keep you dependent on them? Are they supposed to stop sellling gasoline to you ? No one holds a gun to your head and makes you buy a car, or makes you buy fuel. Gasoline conservation was at one time seen as patriotic, now people whine if they have to do things like conserve or car pool.
