Yes, they did. Where were you when gas prices shot up to over $4 in my area? During that whole time gas rose to ridiculous prices AMerican stopped consuming as much gas. We found way to conserve when using gas, and our consumption dropped. Thats one of the reason Elkhart IN is in such a hard time right now. Their whole industry was in RV's, and since people stopped driving, no one is buying those RV's. It was also all over the news.
