"z1000: hate to tell you but it is metre everywhere in the world except for the US when measuring distance."
Not quite. In US Engilish, it's meter. In British English (and other commonwealth countries like Canada and Australia) it's metre. Other places in the world it's whatever their language specifies (Germany: meter). This is why the BIPM does not specify language for SI (the modern metric system) only symbols. It's m the world round for meter. Here in the U.S., NIST specifies the spellings for SI but dictates that we use the international symbols such as m, km, kg, l, etc.
BTW, did you know that the U.S. is officially a metric country? Have been so since 1893. All non-metric measures have been based on metric ones since then. The official definition of an inch is 25.4 mm.

Consumers are probably driving more now because of the lower gas prices.
