I don't see any change in driving habits here in Oklahoma as most people buying new cars stick with the larger vehicles, SUV's, trucks, large cars. Living in an oil/gas producing state we probably see things differently.

This additional income is allowing more wells to be drilled and some marginal wells that no one wanted to invest in are now back on line and doing great. Hope to see refineries modernized and adding a few would be nice.

If we have good candidates, they will get elected.

I have seen less driving in my area. But people are still driving to work. I live in a semi-rural area that requires commutes to an urban area where housing costs are high. the driving I see is commuters mostly. Recreational driving has dropped noticeably here.
