Title: Re: how much is econ/gas impacting driving? Post by: Aske on July 28, 2008, 07:30:21 PM 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?

Seriously just cruising around for *feces*s and giggles looking at houses, windows rolled down on a Sunday drive.
