I'd like to see traffic plotted against the price of oil.

I would imagine they are strongly correlated.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If this is a 'peakist' site, then why are people going to visit if it appears wrong and/or unlikely to affect their own lives?

Hello Cohesion,

I suspect you're wrong on this one.

Check out the graphic at the top of this page from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7083015.stm
It's hard to see how traffic could increase at the sort of rate you see after 2000.
