From what I learned in my Microeconomics class, Gas has inelastic demand unlike most products which are elastic. Basically no matter the price, the demand doesn't change. And from what I learned from my math professor who is an Engineer, our gas consumption is an exponential math problem, so even if we found more gas it will only buy us just a little more time, but not much.

One thing thats also way more popular in other countries is the use of motorcycles and scooters.
