    Does it seem likely that they are missing some chunk of driving that’s occuring but not being caught in by their means of estimating? For example, electric cars not buying gallons of gas? Or people driving less because they’re having DoorDash, Amazon and Instacart deliver stuff at home and doing the driving for them?

    Texas driving was down due to the severe freeze and related shutdowns. In Dallas-Fort Worth, January driving was down 7% in January but 17% in February.

    Traffic should be back up in March. But comparisons will need to be to 2019 since March 2020 was affected by Covid.
