In town I haven't seen much change.
On the freeways in Phoenix and Tucson during rush hour I haven't seen much change.
On the freeways away from town, especially during off-hours, people have slowed WAY down in general. Used to be if I went 70 in a 75 I was the slowest thing on the road, by far. Now I'll pass groups of 4-6 cars that are doing maybe 60 mph on the freeway. A year and a half ago I never saw that.

There are still people out there driving 95 mph all the time, but in general I think people have slowed down a lot. Now, during rush hour and around town it still seems to be a race, but the people that put on the big miles on the freeway are trying to save some money.
