I was just sitting around the site, and noticed the highest rating we ever had. This was back before I was involved, but Dec. 29th, 2009, we had the most users of all time. I did a bit of investigating, and in Indianatown, FL, the price of fuel was 3.85. The only two petrol places in the area, there, are at 3.38 as of this morning.

I know a lot of factors can apply, but I just saw a trend there, and thought it cool. Fuel prices up, everyone wants to be an ecomodder, fuel prices go down (or we adjust to it) and people lose interest.

(Maybe not everyone wants to be an ecomodder, rather joins and looks around.)
