some of the time. I walk some of the time and i take public transportation some of the time. I don't need a car and what I spend is cheaper than a car. I can't drive anyway. But I spend $200 or a bit more to get groceries by taxi or to go to the hardware store a few times a month. And when the weather is bad I take taxis too. Families are smaller. People don't have homes as much. So you don't need a car so much. There are so many other things than electric. I know a single mother who is part of a car sharing club and she uses it for not just shopping but to go camping or other fun stuff. So even if oil does not disappear cars themselves are
going to be rarer. IMHO

I don't know if online shopping is more or less a user of gasoline. If I was a betting man I would invest in a making box company.
