Anyways, in a few years I bet they won't even make cars with AC because fuel supplies will be so limited and the new means of competition between manufacturers will be gas mileage rather than power/luxury.

We'll all be best off with our diesels because we can convert them to WVO (and then no-one will kill us for our fuel either like in Mad Max because their cars won't be able to run on WVO ).
no but you can count on fighting or competing with the next guy to get the restaurant to sell you any they have....it may not be free forever.

Dude, the only fear is smelling to high heavens, and not all of us make one stop in the morning then home on the next stop.
By the way, you are correct, there are many benefits to growing up on a farm for sure!!
