I had to do a 100 mile round trip this morning same journey at the same time and day of the year as I did last year.
It might just be me but weather conditions were the same but last year it seemed every other driver was on a mpg mission and crawling along
Today people seemed to be making more brisk progress and I wondered if it was the price of fuel dropping that meant people weren't trying to make every drop go as far as it could?
So poll answers
- Yes traffic is moving quicker
- Same
- No it's slower
Obviously no poll is complete without the comedy value MX-5 answer in place

Yes, with some caveats.
If you pay enough attention to fuel prices (if your on PH you probably do) and are a petrolhead, you are fairly likely to have celebrated with a slightly heavier right foot than normal.
If you pay some attention to fuel prices, but aren't really a petrolhead, your probably driving the same as you always did, but just feeling slightly more satisfied/ relaxed while doing so.
If (like most normal people), your knowledge of falling petrol prices is solely an item on the evening news/ radio/ different numbers on the big board outside the forecourt, you are also driving the same as you always did.
As a PHer who gets low 20s mpg on average, Im most certainly enjoying the full rev range a bit more, as are some like-minded friends/ colleagues!
I expect Lexus LSs in shed territory will be shifting slightly faster than usual this year....
