"The good news: the number of GA accidents in 2006 declined to 1,515
from the 1,669 accidente in 2005. The bad news: The NTSB reports that
part of the decline was due to the steady decrease in the amount of GA
activity. Since 1990, says the Safety Board, GA hours flown each year
have declined, totalling a 20% drop".


Just look at the drops of avgas consumption:

Thanks for that link. It basically shows the drop in GA flying since
autogas or Jet A increases can't come close to making up the drop in
the last decades/years.
