Even if you may not have heard of the Peak Oil theory, everyone knows that we'll continue to use more and more gasoline in years to come. gasoline consumption to date was 2006, when we collectively. Well, errrrr, no. At least, that's the conclusion of both industry analysts and the oil companies themselves.
