Having worked petrol retail through my late teens/early 20's, I can assure you that people have no idea how much of our society depends on diesel.

Electricity, too: Ten days without power would be almost enough to send us to the Iron Age. It's scary when you think about it, you could seriously cripple any modern nation by attacking just those two vectors of infrastructure and they're both pretty soft targets in terms of the damage you could do.
