7. Still a huge percentage of the oil we use is for cars
I forget what it is but it's over 50%. I remember seeing it once during the run-up to a vote on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

I don't have a car. Never have. Of course, this is not any great testament to my ecofriendliness: I have a neurological disability that reduces my reaction time to the point that I'm not safe on the road. I've never had a license.

But it is comforting knowing that I've reduced my oil dependency by a high percentage!
