^ You've made a HUGE point. The energy sector and automobile industry will never be the same from here on out. We're moving towards not only using more alternative energy, but alternative powertrain technology, and its' not so much the consumer but society that demands it. In addition, (as mentioned) people that once did a lot of commuting in their own personal transportation are looking to other alternatives as both a cost effective and environmentally-friendly means. This isn't something that will be a short lived trend, this is long term. With all of that said car makers will be producing products that consume less and use alternative forms of energy and propulsion. Combine that with a continuing decline in demand for oil gas prices will surely drop continuously over the long term, permanently.
