1. I love that Peak Oil graphic!

3. Thanks! Made it myself. Please be careful how you use it.

It's the copyrighted logo for one of my websites and is a branding instrument. Any commercial use is prohibited. I have omitted the website name from the logo so as to make a statement and so that I limit promotion of it on DU.

4. Thanks. I just emailed the link to my wife, who is out of town.

There will be no attempt to use it for commercial purposes, of course.

5. I think there may be a "U"-shaped distribution of sales

across cost of vehicle, with Mercedes' & up doing very well, and high-mileage (in both senses of the word) junkers also doing well. 1988 Hondas are all the rage, ya know. All the stuff in the middle of the range, especially American gas hogs will be doing poorly. Priuses & other hybrids are probably the exception to the mid-range rule because they're so hip among "latte' liberals."
