Chart shows we are back to summer of 1990... 30 yrs...

Actually I expect personal miles driven to INCREASE when there is more freedom to travel and families get back to (safe) vacations. (Camping / roadtrips)

Would be interesting to see an overlay with passenger miles flown. (or refined Oil use)

Also an interesting chart would be "Retail Delivery miles!"

The rebirth of "Sears Catalog" days! Wonder what the next big thing is... ?

LOL. Rental cars are usually a good deal. They are well maintained.

I literally laughed out loud at this while sitting here at my desk. I don't even have a position on whether I agree or disagree- but quite the funny comment!

Traffic here has picked up and the roads are busy but not anywhere near pre-COVID levels. I hope it stays this way because we can actually get around in a reasonable amount of time without staring at a sea of tail lights.

Anyone else tend to follow these charts?

Looks deeper and bigger than anything in a looonnnngggg time.

What is your take? Calls for 100% recovery, or staying down, ahead?
100% recovery, in time. 2021 may be down a little but in a few years covid will be a "remember when" event.

Looks like miles driven are down ~12% yoy — you don’t think that’s a significant change?
