Just in case you question my insights, here are my commuting credentials: I drive every 80 miles round trip in traffic every week day in brutal Los Angeles freeways, taking on average an hour and a half each way and 3 hours round trip.

Gas prices are at record highs right now and its hurting bad on everyone's wallet, including mine. I am not sure if its because of Spring break, the time that I am leaving to work, the weather or what, but for the past week the drive have been great. Actually the drive has been great ever since the gas prices have gone up. Our prices are driving big rigs off the road, or at least off the road during traffic hours.

Although I have to pay a lot at the pump I am enjoying the lighter traffic.
