Oil Crisis: Solution
Stop accelerating towards red lights. Stop repeatedly accelerating and slamming on your brakes and accelerating again just to get a few car lengths ahead. Do you realize what you've gained, when you've achieved the advantage of a few car lengths? Imagine your car passing a fixed point. Then, the people you've struggled diligently to get around, they pass that same fixed point a few seconds later, at most. The net gain of all your furious maneuvering ultimately amounts to a net gain of a few meaningless seconds.
What does it matter, you may ask? Well, during all your adrenaline-driven fits of useless accelaration, the MPG of your automobile sinks to abysmal levels. In order to preserve our current fuel supplies, for many generations to come, all we need do is for you to quit driving like a complete asshole.
No technological breakthroughs, no government regulations, no car-pooling or bike-riding or tele-commuting necessary. Just pull your head out of your ass and start driving like a decent human being.
