I was wrong

Apparently it wasn't changed driving habits but supernatural intervention that brought the price of gas down:
"Mr Twyman is sceptical that market forces might be responsible for the lower prices."
God wants us to drive those hummers!

"We believe not just in prayer - because we believe that faith without works is dead. So we've encouraged people to car-pool more and organise their days more, because it's a combination of faith with these other factors."
