That's rich. The economy has been growing much, much faster than oil demand over the past 3 years. Per capita oil consumption is way off from 2005, and per capita GDP is a bit higher. These are basic facts, do I need to research them for you?

When per-capita oil consumption falls off a cliff while per-capita GDP plateaus, your "it's the 7 years of recession" argument sort of falls flat on it's face.
