  1. Shouldn't they have plotted population too?

    Or are some of those variables "per capita"?

  2. dearieme,

    I don't believe any of that is "per capita". I think the chart was done mostly from a total traffic perspective.

    Here is a chart of population.

    I find the purple data series the most interesting (especially since about 1980). It's so flat.

    Fuel Efficiency vs. Oil Prices vs. Desire to Drive
