Anyway, IF there are big changes in oil availability, the high users will be the hardest hit, I would assume anyway... "Once in awhile we get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if we look at it right" - Hunter/Garcia
The high users are the ones that can absorb a given change in availability with the least percentage change. Which is why it makes a lot of sense to pressure the US about oil consumption. Nothing is 'mere'. — Richard P. Feynman
