Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2008High Gas Prices Are Having an Effect
KTLA reports that Americans droive 4% less in March, 2008 versus March, 2007. That's the biggest drop since the 1940s, when gasoline and tires were rationed during WW II. More people are riding public transit, bicycles, and (gasp!) even walking. Many are dumping their gas-guzzling SUVs and buying smaller cars. The result is that the demand for gasoline fell 11% last week, and is down sharply since the beginning of the year.

Naw, it means that people aren't going to the gym, the movies, to the mountains with the RV, and generally dumping a lot of recreation. Look for a depression in the recreation industry as this nonsense worsens, as well as increased health car for the fat people staying home from the gym. > >KTLA reports that Americans droive 4% less in March, 2008 versus > >March, 2007.

Fortunately, it costs next to nothing to run my 650cc dual-sport bike. Dave >> >KTLA reports that Americans droive 4% less in March, 2008 versus >> >March, 2007.

Be interesting to see if the idiot american drives any slower. I doubt it since they've all been brainwashed by the auto industry into thinking fast driving is cool even if the speeder kills some innocent person. |
