gotta love a graph that doesn't start at 0, really skews the visuals. Looking at the graph it appears the tunnel carries ~82K cars/day on average if we toss out 2004 which appears to be an anonomly, last year it took 80.5K/day (estimated) which is down ~2%. Well within the margin of error.
The reason we don't see the numbers increase over the years is the tunnel is at capacity, it can't go up. Looking at the graph there certainly isn't an observable downward trend if anything it shows traffic pretty steady even in the face of increasing gas prices.
