Posted Mon Mar 3 2008: from The Wall Street Journal:


	Americans Start to Curb Their Thirst for Gasoline http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1204585879 " As crude-oil prices climb to historic highs, steep gasoline prices and the weak economy are beginning to curb Americans' gas-guzzling ways. In the past six weeks, the nation's gasoline consumption has fallen by an average 1.1 percent from year-earlier levels, according to weekly government data. That's the most sustained drop in demand in at least 16 years, except for the declines that followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which temporarily knocked out a big chunk of the U.S. gasoline supply system."
