This would not be the main reason, but the off topic and the personal animus that gets vented here also drives people away. We lost one this week. It's why I split last year. And we have lost others in the past that I know of. I am sure there were more who left and others who did not want to join for similar reasons. However, I agree the main drivers are (1) fuel prices, (2) generational changes in car ownership, and (3) the increasing complexity of newer cars that makes them harder to mod.
