It's also what happened to fuel prices. There was always a very clear correlation between forum traffic & oil prices. I haven't really been monitoring it in the past couple of years though. But if we have a price shock, guaranteed it will have an effect on activity.

CAFE & rising MPG of new vehicles has probably affected things as well.

I'll probably be making one for the Fancy Metro.
