So looking for a new vehicle to replace my 01 Windstar and was going to get another minivan or suv like an Acadia and wifes work has a lease return on this Altima

So I told her sure good deal 12G + tax 40k miles
We wanted another large vehicle to tow a boat however I'm a firm beleiver in peak oil 'anybody surprised?' so I was really having a hard time wanting to sink money into a fuel
sucker. . . .

So the van was worth zero IMO and was just going to give it away, so now decided to keep it just to tow the boat in the summers and haul crap as needed and leave it in the back yard, it still runs like a champ just rickety. . .

We still have the Versa too

Clive Mather, CEO of Shell Canada, said the Earth's supply of hydrocarbons is almost infinite, referring to hydrocarbons in oil sands.[163] Engineer Peter Huber believes the Canadian oil sands can fuel all of humanity's needs for over 100 years.[163]
Industry blogger Steve Maley echoed some of the points of Yergin, Rühl, Mather and Hofmeister.[164]

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil
 
There is a lot of oil there I happen to have several friends who work a week in and a week out there, however it will never satisfy mankinds need for oil as they produce about 1.6 mbpd there and burn a pile of natural gas to make that happen
People use 85 mbpd currently, see the problem?
Thye have been working on thme since the 70's probably can get it up to 2.5 mbpd eventually
Peak oil has nothing to do with how much oil there is , its always been about can we extract it as fast as we burn it and now that the easy and cheap is going, it only leaves the expensive and hard. Our whole economy was built around the cheap and easy there is a toll to be paid

Lets see the quotes from that article May 12, 2006
Oil skyrocketed in 2008 and collapsed the economy, thats the consequence of expensive oil, food clothing everything goes up in price

Bought today $12450 Was another interested party but sales manager said whomever comes up w the cash first gets it. I don't think the salesman has a ride home today. . .

They are related as cars primarily move on oil and factored into the decision making process
 
Well I pick it up Saturday Morning as long as the sales guy doesn't wreck it this week.

Getting a new windshield 'lease thing?' and oil change
I haven't driven much CVT before, that should be interesting and see if the boy's hockey bag will squeeze into the trunk
