One gallon of gasoline can produce 20kg of cement, or 1 weight of gasoline produces 5 weights of cement. Thus, one weight gasoline produces 35 weights of concrete - which is a strong case for using more rock, less cement.

	Just to haul gravel - we are spending say 3 mpg, 25 mile haul - 8 gal - or equivalent of 1 ton of concrete in embodied energy. 10 dumps of gravel have same embodied energy as a concrete truck. Thus, say we minimize the concrete required by using more rock: say instead of 6" of rock, we use ~~2 feet~~ of rock (5x more). Then we still come out ahead as opposed to using concrete - in embodied energy. However, a truck of concrete is $1500. 5 trucks of gravel are comparable. Thus, cost is comparable. Embodied energy of rock is smaller.
