Question

How much less gas have americans used compared to last year at this time?

Answer 1

Check the NTS site.

As of February private transportation had consumed 4% less gas then last year.

When you add what would have been normal growth (4%) it comes up to 8% drop from expected traffic.

Some states keep track of toll road traffic, and in some of these states the drop in tolls has been as much as 25%.

There has been a "gas revolt" in the US, I hope we keep it up and do not forget so quickly.

Answer 2

The NBC Nightly news answers this nearly nightly. The average has dropped this year, for this same time last year...2 (two)%.

Answer 3

I've used about 1/5 of the gas i did at this time last year.... I bought a scooter for my daily commute that gets about 90MPG.  Even if prices come back down, i'm going to be riding it, its a lot of fun really.  I only drive the car when I have to (which is rarely)
