That seems to say that for 8 straight months travel has declined doesn't it?
Then it goes on to postulate.. $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Booz & Company', '
')
gasoline consumption in the US is likely to peak within the next 15 to 20 years.
Well? Am I missing something?
What's wrong with this picture? Hey fellas, maybe gasoline use has already peaked and started to decline?

I don't think we're missing anything. Adios to this fantasy land of the great USA gasoline exporter.
Now, where was that thread explaining how to turn straw into gold?

Port Fourchon & the LOOP -Aftermath..what to expect now?
by GeneralGreen » Mon 01 Sep 2008, 09:51:12
It appears that the LOOP and Port Fourchon took a major if not direct hit from Gustav at a CAT 3 size. Not only that Gustav spent some extra time in these places....
Lets talk about the possible consequence and the aftermath of this monsters destruction.

Wikipedia entry on Port Fourchon
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')ort Fourchon is a small community on the southern tip of Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, on the Gulf of Mexico. It is a sea port, with significant petroleum industry traffic from off shore Gulf oil platforms and drilling rigs as well as the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port pipeline coming through it. There are over 600 oil platforms within a 40-mile radius of Port Fourchon. This area makes up 16 to 18 percent of the US oil supply.
History and hurricanes
Port Fourchon was damaged by Hurricane Lili in October of 2002.[citation needed] It did not take a direct hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and was only slightly damaged.[1]
As of mid-2008, $350 million from state bonds and federal assistance had been budgeted to begin replacing a 17-mile (27-km) stretch of LA-1, the road into Port Fourchon, because that part of the highway is not inside the hurricane levee system that protects inland communities. The replacement will be an elevated highway that can stand up to a major storm and remain open even if the land around it floods. A seven-mile (11-km) section of the project, including a higher bridge across Bayou Lafourche, is under construction and scheduled for completion in 2011. Funds have not been found for replacing the northern ten miles of the road.[1]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')orecaster: Louisiana Offshore Port May Have Taken Direct Hit
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
September 1, 2008 10:53 a.m.
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)-- Hurricane Gustav may have directly hit the key Louisiana Offshore Oil Port terminal, but likely won't do the same to New Orleans, said Jim Rouiller, senior energy meteorologist with Planalytics Monday.
"I think Gustav has probably hit several major deepwater oil and gas production platforms over the last 12 hours," he added in an update forecast.
It's too soon to gauge any damage to the LOOP. A spokesman said the facility will wait until the storm passes to go out to the port to assess damage, potentially later Monday or Tuesday.
"Keep in mind this update still places New Orleans within the most dangerous right front quad of Gustav... I still expect a storm surge of 8-14 feet, hurricane force winds of 70-90 mph with some higher gusts, 8-14 inches of rain and tornadoes. Severe flooding is likely," Rouiller said.
