Then why are you assuming that every man, woman and child in America drives?

im not. just as i don't assume every man woman or child earns $, etc. normalized per capita statistics have great value. please feel free to convert it to miles per household per day if you like. then its ~3 miles less per day.  what does that really mean? 1 less trip to the grocery store a day? |

We still go joy-ridding like good honest merkans. Seriously just cruising around for *feces*s and giggles looking at houses, windows rolled down on a Sunday drive.

Affected here. We drive way less. Work and back, that's about it. Try to combine grocery, errands, etc. into the work commute.
