Have you noticed less traffic on the roads in recent weeks? You should have, given the number of people who claim that high gas prices have prompted them to drive less. If the roads aren’t less clogged, it likely means people fear they’ll sound like fools if they don’t tell pollsters they’re driving less, whether it’s true or not. Anyhow, an AARP poll of Americans age 50-plus adds to the inventory of such data. Forty-seven percent said they’ve cut down on travel and vacations.
