Looks like many could be siloed this summer given the increase in fuel prices across the board. That could also be a downward drag on many industries. Even if we were able to get back to where we were 2 months ago today, there would still be noticeable, non-zero impact.

What do you mean by siloed?

Limited in their options. Americans tend to use more gasoline in the summer

Why? Isn't it the opposite in Europe?

My guess is the stark difference in type of cars, number of cars, typical miles driven, and public transport. A standard american's road trip vacation would be unusual in europe. For example, my relative visits family several times a year, doing 4 hour drive in a large pickup truck for a short weekend trip. In europe, my understanding is that destinations are likely to be closer, cars are smaller, and trains are common (maybe the default?).

Understandable
