It's because all their restaurants are on highways and depend on lots of vacation travellers stopping by. A big rise in gas prices or worse, a shortage, would cut into this kind of travel big time.

Some analysts think that if Y2K has an economic effect, it will be from gas and oil shortages. While I don't have an opinion, I think this might explain some of the excessive weakness.
