I've Noticed the same trend... Boston Globe had an article about a week or two ago stating that gas sales in the Northeast were down... I've also noticed that after reducing my highway top speed to 70, cruising at 68 - 69mph, all of a sudden, I'm not being passed by the usual suspects blasting down the highway as fast as they can go... Still get a few, kids mostly diving on daddy's dollar etc. but for the most part, traffic has slowed down to the 65 mph range where it used to be moving around 80 mph.. Makes spotting cruisers easier, but I wonder how Law Enforcement is going to react to lower speeding ticket revenue.....
