Apparently starting topics linking to off-site articles without the topic starter providing some comment of their own creates site "clutter", while those that do include a comment don't, so here's my comment: I resemble that remark.

Oh, here's a quote:
The main findings are as follows:

Middle-aged persons purchased proportionally fewer vehicles in 2017 than in 2007 (down from 29% to 14% for those 35 to 44, and from 24% to 20% for those 45 to 54).

Older persons purchased proportionally more vehicles in 2017 than in 2007 (up from 18% to 25% for those 55 to 64, and from 13% to 27% for those 65 and older).

In 2007, a majority of buyers (53%) were age 35 to 54, while in 2017 a majority (52%) were age 55 and older.


Oh, here's another GCC article which I'd normally post separately, but as it's conclusion falls into the "Well, duh!" category, I'll put it here:

Changes in vehicle miles traveled often mirror changes in gasoline price

There's a graph.
