Still, many people still rely on cars as the primary method of transportation. I for one don't think I got in our family car for about a month or so. We only use it to go on trips. But then again I live in an incomparably small town compared to New York. People need to stop relying on cars so much. It isn't impossible, it isn't even hard. From what you say, if you live in New York, which is, if I'm not mistaken, the largest city in the world, and can use public transportation to get everywhere, people everywhere else can do the same. Don't you agree?
But then again, petrol isn't the only use of oil. It may be the largest use, but oil is also used for producing electrical energy and plastic. 70% of the world's electricity is gotten from oil. I believe that I read somewhere that 74% of America is powered by oil. It's a similar percentage here in Serbia, and many other countries. Most countries rely on oil heavily. Once it keeps getting more and more expensive, not only petrol prices will rise, but also electricity bills will skyrocket, plastic will get more expensive, hell oil is even used in some types of FOOD. We need to start changing our ways of living, or things are gonna get very, very ****ed.
