analysis shows MnPASS system curbing congestion on 394 [skywaynews]
odd that the story gives all the credit to mnpass and doesn't point out that gas prices are up and more people are carpooling and/or using mass trasnit. or maybe the study concluded that and the article didn't mention it. in other news, i still don't have a mnpass, and i still want one.

Huna the Contrarian thought:
Or maybe you will find that total traffic on 394 is still has high as it was a year ago. With population increases and the inelastic demand, my guess is that gasoline sales (by volume) are holding steady even with the high prices. Or maybe just going down 1 or 2% or something.
dave thought:
don't you have a super cool scooter that gets 100mpg or something? i rest my case.
