I know this is an extreme example, but look at Gaza. Fuel is hard to come by, distances are mega short (it's a tiny sliver of land) but people still want to drive everywhere. Regular gas is near impossible to buy but cooking oil is slightly more accessible...so there's a roaring trade in converting cars to run on Gaza's version of biofuels.

Carpooling now seems to be the option. I’m wondering how this is going to affect my getting to local races. Carpooling now seems to be the option.

It was unreal; I've never seen it so full. Probably a dozen cyclists got left behind at one station on the express train I boarded because of lack of capacity. Caltrain was JAM PACKED this morning.
