Question Gas is cheap again. So why are you still here?

Hmm?

The traffic to the EM blog and forum (and other fuel efficiency sites) is absolutely linked to the price of gas in the US.

The number of "Active Members", shown on the forum index, has been declining since gas prices peaked. (Members who have visited at least once in the last 30 days are considered "active".)

EM's active membership was at something like 1400 and change back in July ; now it's hovering around 1000. The rate of new members signing up is obviously lower as well.

The price of fuel is at something like 4 year lows! (According to a news report I heard this morning.)

So why the heck are you still here?

Vote in the poll, too. Multiple choice is OK.
