Did anyone notice the adjacent sentences, in the same paragraph, directly contradicting one another?

"According to a spate of recent surveys, the rise in gas prices is changing general consumer buying patterns—but not driving habits."

...immediately followed by:

"A Nielson Co. survey found that 70 percent of U.S. consumers are combining around-town driving for errands and shopping, while 39 percent said they're just staying home more often."

IE 70% of consumers have changed their driving habits.
