In the big cities, there doesn't seem to be much difference in driving (probably because of a lack of alternatives), but in rural and suburban areas, driving miles are down. Good friend delivers gasoline for a distribtor, and his gallons are cut by 40%.
Saw a stat last month on available seats on all airlines out of LAX. 170,000 seats per month down from same time last year. That's a lot of kerosene not being burned.
I would suspect demand spurs price (think that's an axiom in a freemarket economy, which we no longer are, but that's another thread....).
