Traffic Density....

Is it just me or is traffic density down in your areas...I'd say here in West Palm we're down 20-25%.....

Americans adjusting their energy consumption habits......

Post-Easter. All the snowbirds are back up North terrorizing those roads.

We have seen it 30 minutes North of you in the Stuart / Jensen Area.

I just ran from Jensen to Stuart to my accountants and the traffic was light compared to most days.

I could be the fuel costs but who knows.

Yeah...snowbirds gone could be a big part, but the morning and evening traffic commute has been lighter also....

It will have to be in the fall, my 3.6 is sitting in North Carolina right now at my vacation home. Its patiently waiting for my to get back up there and flog it on some mountain roads.

No A/C = Perfect North Carolina summer car.

Here in LaLaLand, the freeway service patrols are reporting their 'out of gas' calls have quadrupled. One driver says he is seeing repeat customers every day. Yes, the same people. The service is free, you get a gallon.

He says it seems to be prevalent in the Latino community to do this, one person said she was told about it at church.

The service is funded by.... you guessed it, a .025% gas tax in Los Angeles County.
