ChaosEnginesays...Get used to it. Fuel prices are going to increase drastically in the next few decades.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to C-note's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
C-notesays...I hope you are wrong. A few countries have announce goals for increasing the percentage of electric cars on their roads. The reduction in sales for gas and diesel cars should lead to less demand for gas... maybe...

ChaosEnginesays...I'd love to be wrong.
But even with less demand for gas and diesel for ground transport, we'll still need petrochemicals for air transport and plastic production (neither of which are going away any time soon).
Ultimately, they are a finite resource and even ignoring the effects of climate change we are going to run out eventually (especially if there's continued exponential growth).
The only good news is that IF we can produce enough EVs and enough renewable electricity to run them, that cost won't hurt most people (at least not in transport terms).
But even then, it will (optimistically) be a decade or two before EVs outnumber ICEs.
So yeah, IMO, fuel is going to go up.
