But the way I think about it is that the coping mechanisms (driving less, fewer and smaller cars, scooters, bikes, trains etc...) will translate into a lower GDP/person, or, lower standard of living. Lower standard of living, as I've defined here, for quantitative purposes, does not have to mean Crash_Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985815560035214946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615802111925975217.post-20950902587847751642011-02-15T00:55:02.186-08:002011-02-15T00:55:02.186-08:00I have being saying this for years.

I guess I'm taking your point further that there is a LOT of slop in the transportation system. Not 20% slop, maybe more like Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5615802111925975217.post-7197044336291045942011-02-14T15:15:08.641-08:002011-02-14T15:15:08.641-08:00Anonymous: Americans transitioning from SUVs to 11...Anonymous: Americans transitioning from SUVs to 110 cc Honda twisters is a nice example of adapting to a lower standard of living at a level commensurate with Thailand, which I estimate has a per capita petroleum consumption rate equal to 5 bs/yr•p and a GDP per capita of $4k/p (2009 data).

I like the way you didn't just pick one scenario, but presented them all and gave the reader the results of each what-if situation. <br /><br />One suggestion for mitigation; for those not in the arctic circle, consider buying a 110 cc scooter for your "rationing" scenario. Asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand use 110 cc scooters as Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
