We show that strong solutions of 2D diffusive Oldroyd-B systems in ℝ2 decay at an algebraic rate, for a large class of initial data. The main ingredient for the proof is the following fact; an Oldroyd-B system is a macroscopic closure of a Fokker-Planck-Navier-Stokes system, and the free energy of this Fokker-Planck-Navier-Stokes system decays over time. In particular, \normuL^∞t L2x and \norm∇x uL2t L2x are uniformly bounded for all time.
