I notice fewer cars on the road this weekend. New Jersey - temp in the low 70's to low 80's. Almost clear skies.

This kind of weather would normally bring heavy traffic to the Parkway as people drive to the shore or A.C. The 100 mile drive to my step-daughter's would normally take 2 1/2 hours. on a Saturday. Yesterday, I made it in 1:40.

Today on Rt 78. In spring to fall weekends, afternoon, Sunday traffic coming back from Pennsylvania to N.J.or NY would usually take an hour and 30 minutes to drive the length of the highway. Today, I made it in less than an hour.

I guess that taking $90 to fill the tank of an S.U.V. is having an effect on some peoples' budgets.
