America’s Biggest (And Least) Gas-Guzzling Cities

It’s not enough to look at where gas prices are highest (that would be Hawaii, at $4.60)–what matters most is how many miles you drive.

High gasoline prices are sure something to complain about. Nationwide the current average price is $3.98 per gallon. That’s up more than a buck from a year ago, and within spitting distance of the record $4.11 average set in 2008.

Faced with the prospect of spending $60 to fill up the tank, it’s little surprise that AAA says it’s getting a lot more calls from motorists who have run out of gas. Yet despite soaring prices, demand for gasoline has stayed strong, down just 2% from a year ago to 382 million gallons–or $1.5 billion–per day.
