People use a lot less gas when they don’t have to drive to work anymore.

People are not driving as much—I know I am not—I rethink any long distance plans now—I just can’t afford it. A trip of 50 miles was common before—Now I limit my driving.

>>>People use a lot less gas when they don’t have to drive to work anymore.

And when their unemployment runs out, they quit all but extremely essential driving.

And they don't have to use gas job-hunting. That's all done on the internet.

Yes the unemployed and those of us who decided to retire rather than beat our brains out looking for work, drive a whole heck of a lot less than the working public.

Got no place to go and can’t afford these high gas prices anyway.
