Summary

After the mid '70's, the economists demonstrated a significant conservation of oil and gas for a few brief years.  Smaller more gas efficient cars, 55 mph speed limits, etc.   After the few good or better years of gas prices, this country started back on the "old ways" by making SUV's, Hummers, increased speed limits, etc.    

Analysis

The peak oil prices is imminent even at todays prices and the government and industries involved with these prices are all working to reverse this rise of prices.  The actual peak price may not be as important as the length and rate of the decline in oil prices.
