2.11 here in Arkansas. I keep my cars close to home so I hardly pay anything in gas thank god. There are many large vehicle users (Pickups, SUV's etc) that must commute to Little Rock every day and I am beginning to recognize them several times a week when they stop to fill up. <br /> <br />Part of the problem is the so called compact vehicle is just too small to survive a crash, haul a trailer, bring in goods from the Home Depot etc. <br /> <br />Also the larger the vehicle the more room you are given during rush hour especially when you are way past 70+ mph trying to make it to work ahead of everyone else. If that is not a fuel efficient speed then I dont know what is. These folks who fight and shove thier way past other traffic are bullies who waste money in gas and have no one to blame but themselves. <br /> <br />Refining capacity worries me more than the gas prices. I believe that in order to keep up with future growth we must construct more refineries and encourage hybrid and other technologies for vehicles. It is still possible to power a vehicle and out run fossil fueled cars today. Imagine what can be done in the future if we are really serious about easing the amount of gasoline we consume a day.
