We stayed at home. Cleaned out the shed. Drove 4 miles to fill up both vehicles getting ready for work this week.

This is less than a 1% change. From talking around the office and seeing the increase in bus ridership, I would have expected more to join the "holiday at home" crowd.

I am staying home, but I almost always stay home on Memorial weekend. The roads are a mess with all the trailers/boats, etc. I'll travel next weekend, when there aren't so many people on the road.

If you do the math, less than 1% of the people suveyed are going to change how they drive this weekend. But the survey probably has a margin of error of at least 1%. Therefore, statistically there is no change in driving.

4000 out of 525,000 is less than 1%. How can they estimate that well and why is this small estimated change worthy of a news story?
