The Amish do not use oil to transport themselves. They would never have tried to conquer oil-rich Iraq.
 
Do they use any oil at all?

We have Amish so that the ultra-conservatives have someplace to go when stem cell research becomes available again.

Very Little I believe, I think they only use it for lighting & greasing their machinery...

There are Amish societies in Ohio, mid-state, who apparently benefit greatly from a steady stream of tourists who buy their products and just want to mingle with them.  Yes, they are a bit unusual, and no, i would not want my unmentionable to live as an Amish woman.  However as far as i know, they generally commit little crime, maintain their property in good order, etc.  Seems to me this country has room for such "fringe" societies within it.
