Read an article yesterday that pointed out that if the cost of gas had followed inflation for the last 30 years, the price would be somewhere north of $5/gallon. The cost right now appears to be very high partly because the global consumption of petroleum crashed during the first year of the pandemic. Consumption is going up again, and it will take a while for production to catch up (not that all the oil producers are in a hurry because they took a bath in 2020).
The same article pointed out that the US now exports about the
same amount of petroleum as it imports. That is a curious
statistic.

With the expense of fuel these days, why would people do that? Defective brains?

In the past year I've observed that agressive driving seems to be the norm now. More assholes, especially pickups using farm diesel (black-foul-smelling-smoke). I been thinking of investing in a stash of bumper stickers to stick on their trucks that says "shoot me please".

Its possible that with the lower threshold more folks were able to be arrested before they couldgo fora croaker cruise.
Its more probable though that ride sharing grew during that period and the generation of party drinkers used it more as a matter of trend.
Drinking establishments being closed or otherwise inaccessible due to the rona too probably playeda huge role, like the seeming disappearance of flu.

--During Covid, in Utah, there have been the highest rate of deaths ever recorded due to car crashes.Meanwhile, at approximately the same time another experiment was running.Late 2018 Utah lowered the blood alcohol level for driving from .08 to .05%.Many, including myself, figured that there would not be a significant difference.But I also commented at the time that this one will be easy to prove or disprove.Deaths and crashes linked to drunken driving dropped by 19.8% since the law took effect. I think one could say that is statistically significant. Glad I was wrong.
