Unless they're only consuming locally produced goods, pedestrians and cyclists are also availing themselves of subsidized gas at the hands of the machines of violence. Lets not pretend they're morally superior. And in fact, they are still almost always dependent on tractor-trailer compatible roads and gas guzzling vehicles, they just offload the petroleum consuming dirty work to others.

Even excluding use of "pleasure vehicles", there is no scenario where the domestic supply is viable at current rate pedestrians and cyclists are consuming it in the long run. >domestic supply Interestingly, US has been a net exporter of petroleum for the past 2 years. Even including use of 'pleasure vehicles' like those that take grandma to the doctor from her country home so she doesn't die. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/imports-and-exports.php https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-produc...
