Idylwyld.... wha... what is your graph actually showing? That's some kind of index value graphed on the vertical axis. The number of motor vehicles has been increasing steadily in the states since 1960. Here are the numbers from the Bureau of Transportation, 1960-2010. Both the total number of registered vehicles and the total number of light vehicles show an upward trend with time. PS... stuck in the fifties, gimme a break... car culture exists and is real, seen any TV ads recently? Advertising works... now I need to drive my new shiny vehicle into town, through some great scenery. Highway, total (registered vehicles) 74,431,800 91,739,623 111,242,295 137,912,779 161,490,159 177,133,282 193,057,376 192,313,834 194,427,346 198,041,338 201,801,921 205,427,212 210,441,249 211,580,033 215,496,003 220,461,056 225,821,241 235,331,382 234,624,135 236,760,033 243,010,550 247,421,120 250,844,644 254,403,081 255,917,664 254,212,610 250,272,812 Light duty vehicle, short wheel base 61,671,390 75,257,588 89,243,557 106,705,934 121,600,843 127,885,193 133,700,496 128,299,601 126,581,148 127,327,189 127,883,469 128,386,775 129,728,341 129,748,704 131,838,538 132,432,044 133,621,420 137,633,467 135,920,677 135,669,897 136,430,651 136,568,083 135,399,945 196,491,176 196,762,927 193,979,654 190,202,782 http://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita. ... 01_11.html
