It was the first reduction in driving since 1979. This is good news as well.
Travel over the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend will fall for the first time since 2002, auto and travel group AAA said this month.
Some 37.87 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home for the holiday, which falls this year on May 26. That would be down 0.9 percent from 38.23 million last year, according to AAA's survey, which was conducted among more than 2,000 Americans.
I think high gas prices are finally changing the behavior of Americans. Also I wonder how many vacations will be spent staying at home instead of flying all over as well?
