I gt the feelng a lot of people stayed home this Labor Day weekend.

Agreed. I drove from Chattanooga to Atlanta via I-75 and returned on Monday to see the Braves. The traffic, to say the least, was very light.

A friend drove the same route Saturday and reported same light traffic on I-75.

AAA in our area (Washington DC) reported a significant drop in the number of automobiles on the road this past weekend. It would be interesting to see how much this decline in demand has affected the price change at the pumps since then.

Thinking about this thread, and being reminded
of the old round pumps with big bulbs on top,
instead of the rain roof supporting column ones
we have now, or the older box like ones...i thought
"and oh yeah, back then, *all* of the gas stations
were 'Full Serve'...i can't remember how long it's
been since i've been to a gas station that had
a 'Full Serve *line*, much less was *all* 'Full Serve'..
It's gortta be at least 7 or 8 years, and that station has since shut down....

When was the last time you can remember going to a gas station and getting your gas pmped, your windows cleaned,
your fluids topped off, and your tires checked, without getting out of your car?
