I don't drive, so it doesn't affect me directly (though, as mentioned the cost carries forward to consumers on the cost of other goods) but am I the only one who thinks that we should find a good alternative for fuel for cars? There is only a limited ammount of oil left and regardless of whose figures you read, chances are there won't be any left by the end of this century - and I think we'd do better to not just burn it up by driving around, because we rely so much on plastics now, so when it's gone and we've recycled everything to death then there'll be a problem.
