Barrel Effect in US - Drop in traffic jams

US freeways and driveways are anyones delight. And if you get cheap gas and powerful gas guffling SUVs, it can be one of the best experiences. Personally I am a speed and car freak. I too got a chance to drive around pontiac in US and was excited to vrrooom of engine.
But now with soaring gas prices as high as $4/gallon, US surely has put gentle accelerator on driving.
As per one report, there has been a considerable drop in traffic density is US. With highest being in Washigton area of 4.4%, west coast is down by 2.8%, East Coast - 1.4% and 1.8% in great lakes area.
This phenomenon is also following suite in other parts of World too, there has been steps with the oil price rise this time. There will be surely acceleration in efforts by researcher to come up with energy efficient and different source of energy for automobiles.
India too has electric run Reva which has got good ratings, but I think the company can very wel cash on this oopy with price rise to really increase its sales.
