As it stands now the price of fuel has gone up by 10% in the last week so the differance in the cost of driving 380 miles on 9 gallons [42.2mpg] of fuel is $4.-, or 1.05 cents per mile. If i get down to using 63.3mpg then a 10% rise in price will only amount to $2.67 increase in price for the 380 miles of driving! I think of this as the insulating affect of reducing consumption...
