American's driving a lot less!

From November to May American's drove 40.5 billion fewer miles. If you say the average car gets 25 MPG (probably generous) that is 1.62 billion gallons of gas not used. If the average price of gas during that time was $3.60/gallon that is $5.83 billion not spent on gas.
