That's nice, but less than the tip of the iceberg. 99% of what you consume (clothes, medicaments, parts, appliances, books, food) has a part/needs something brought by truck from somewhere else. Maybe locally-grown, no-pesticide, no-fertilizer vegetables are one of the exceptions (although you have to get them to the grocery store), but they aren't the bulk of most of the people's budget. The impact of doubling gas prices would be significant.
