The last part is true. But, if a significant % of working people commuted by bike or walked to work (not counting pleasure walking or biking) - then by the law of supply and demand.......demand for diesel or gasoline would go down and the price of fuel would decrease. Perhaps now would be a good time to devise a way to motivate commuters to commute by bike. Note that many think that there is some amount (who knows how big?) of "price gouging" going on in the final price of gas at the pump.
