This is not good news, this is very bad news.

American drove less miles in March, but they didn’t use less gas.

This is the consumption for march 2007/2008:

0.981709957
0.985513514
0.983036561
0.980363176

Gas consumption declined less than 2%.

That means we are getting far less out of the gas we are buying. Some possible reasons here:

I believe the main reason is bad information, we’ve known for quite a while that faster acceleration is more efficient than slow, however people believe the opposite.

The price of gas hasn’t gone up. The value of the dollar has gone down. There is a subtle but important difference.

It’s going to take a bit longer to back-track on the whole American dream/urban sprawl thing so that people can live and not really miss out on anything by not driving absolutely everywhere, but this could be the beginning.

with peak oil having happened in the last couple years gas prices are going to get worse, this is just the beginning. The increased costs of gas will be passed along to everything that we buy.

I want to think this is pretty good news on the big picture. People save gas, save money, save the planet. And also there is more research into alternative fuels, and hopefully they’re green and clean too. Here’s one way to not worry about the gas prices and not worry about your carbon footprint.
