A great number of Americans actually are switching to bicycles, motorcycles, or public transportation. that's apart from those switching to more fuel efficient cars. Gas has finally gotten expensive enough to get our attention. (Yeah, I know, it's still more expensive in Europe). This past weekend, Memorial Day weekend, is traditionally the start of the summer driving season. Reportedly far fewer people traveled this year than last.
