Gasoline drop seems stunning to me.

Thanks for the data.

Avg age of cars is now up to 10.8 years (so this drop can’t be due to impact of large numbers of new high mileage cars).

Mild USA winter would imply people are driving at least the “normal” amount.

Diesel cars/pickups don’t seem to be more of the market than they were 5 yrs ago.

Economic hardship seems like the most likely cause - in much contrast to MSM talk of “recovery”.
