Then those greedy ass oil companies will learn something.
Optionally if we all just ate foods only produced locally or within say 2 hours of your city at a maximum. Stores would then order less other foods produced elsewhere and often on the other side of the globe. This alone would have a seriously large impact on oil consumption. However this would have very little effect on prices that much. Even with a drop in usage others would pick up the slack, like India, China, or even fucking odd ball parts of Africa. All of them are quickly moving from walking, biking, or even animal power to the use of motorized vehicles. It is not stopping. We need an alternative along with less usage.
