According to CNN:
- Americans drove 1.4 billion fewer highway miles in April 2008 than they did in April 2007.
- Americans have driven nearly 20 billion fewer miles overall this year.
- Less gas used, means less gas tax revenue going to the Highway Trust Fund, which means less money for road upkeep.
- People are trading SUVs for small, gas-efficient cars. Which means even less gas tax revenue, and even worse roads.
