If you are interested in sustainability and reducing your oil consumption, you should install the Oil Standard Firefox Plugin. It converts all prices on all web pages (Amazon.com, Airlines, your online bank, FreshDirect, etc.) to the current equivalent value in barrels of crude oil. Note that this doesn’t know anything about the actual oil usage of an item (production, transport, etc.)
