Yep. Gasoline is far too cheap. We've gotten used to it, taken it for granted, and that's a huge problem. We've degraded the land to the point where most of us can't find enough food locally and rely on food grown and shipped thanks to petroleum. To wean ourselves off will be painful, but not impossible. Building strong local community is a good start; I've got to know a few neighbors now in this rural area and we're starting to offer to pick up groceries for each other, thus reducing the car trips to town. Building trust goes a long way to not needing to do everything yourself.
