During the height ( $ 4.00 + ) of the gas spike, 'few years ago, I have an idea of what happened: People started car pooling. People started stockpiling. People started making fewer trips and buying more per trip. I have no way of knowing but I suspect mileage went down. All this added up and the price of gasoline went down. I have a gut feeling that people are forgetting how to drive smart and are starting to drive stupid. Going back to the bad old ways. I also have the gut feeling that our civil aviation has diminished. I don’t believe it.
