Okay, so... What kind of meaning are you deriving from this?
It seems to me like they're showing footage of rush hour & gas fillups as a sort of scare tactic (TV media, unfortunately, does this for most of their news stories). They're not saying that a good economy means crawling rush hour traffic or going out to buy more gas.
