The above video from NBC News was done in March, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. Since that time gas prices have risen above $5.00/gallon on average and then dipped a little. I observe no decline in traffic when I drive on the highways of Queens. Back in the 1970s during the Arab oil embargo, the supply went down causing people to wait a long time to get gas. The gas lines came back in 2012 after Storm Sandy prevented oil to be delivered to NYC. At those two points in time, there was a visible decrease in the number of cars on the road.
I guess the big oil companies are making great profits.
