One sure fire way get us out of our petroleum conundrum once and for all is to burn up the remaining stock at an accelerated pace. The more prohibitively expensive oil becomes, the greater urgency will be placed on creating viable alternatives. This coming yet unknown super technology will make oil worthless. You can do your part for the revolution without effort, while sinking into the plush white luxury group of this 1976 Lincoln Mark IV Lipstick Edition for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller:

This is a one-family-owned 22K-mile original California car complete with factory window sticker, brochures and sale literature. A rare Lipstick edition with white leather interior, 8-track stereo, polished original alloys, power steering, power brakes, a/c and original blue California license plates! $9,950.

If we all do our part, civilization will either lapse into a Mad-Max style post-oil apocalyptic world of the l-l-l-last of the V8s, or move forward into something more futuristic and comfortable. Once everyone else is saddled into driving around in an egg-shaped 2,348 airbag-equipped CUV powered by a cheese curd cold fusion biomass reactor, you’ll be able to tank up on wicked cheap old school fuel, and motor into the future in full-size style while rocking out to Frampton Comes Alive over the factory eight-track stereo.
