You might have heard that even people in the U.S. now started to complain about gas prices, even though they are still at about 60% of European prices (at $4/gallon). But people really started to shift their behavior here. The commuter trains at Caltrain are busier than before, although they are still not filled to capacity for the most part.

But driving has been reduced enough to have a noticeable impact. Gas consumption at the pump has been falling for 2 consecutive months, and according to the Department Of Transportation (DOT), the amount of miles driven has been reduced as well. Finally people started to think and adjust their behavior.

Other things that come with this are more the exceptions, like taking your golf cart to work, but still worth mentioning, as the WSJ reported. See below video for a snapshot.
