There aren't many cars (other than some fleet vehicles) that run on CNG. And you won't see oil phased out. If it was ONLY in car fuel, maybe, but it's in EVERYTHING PLASTIC to start with. And I doubt we ever see the end of plastic.

Do you honestly think that in todays economy and the uncertainty of tomorrows that people are going to jump out in a leap of faith and buy a new car that runs on natural gas. No. They are going to be doing the best they can to keep the gasoline pweered cars they have running and as cheaply as possible. You or I wont live long enough to see oil phased out. I can say that with certainty and I dont even know how old you are.

cheapertvs Champion Author Richmond Posts:5,200 Points:1,768,220 Joined:Jan 2004	Message Posted: Mar 10, 2010 12:11:36 AM Ignore cheapertvs Report Abuse I believe we are seeing the beginnings of the paradigm shift in our primary fuel from oil to natural gas. Given the amounts of the stuff recently found as well as the amazing amount of reserves in the ground, it is becoming abundantly clear that oil is going down.

He has said this many times and even during the campaign. Locking prices will be a lot easier for them if they can split it from oil.
