Another factor we have for usage on the rise is traffic congestion. I've driven the same route to and from work for years. Back years ago congestion do to traffic was a non-issue. Now it's a major issue, stop go, stop go. What happens to your mileage when your doing nothing but 0 to 20 mph? It decreases your mileage.

I've taken measures to try and avoid traffic. I now leave an entire hour earlier in attempts to avoid traffic. I'm close again of bumping my timeline again to avoid traffic.

The congestion we have in our major metropolitan areas certainly doesn't help our consumption. So are we truely using more by driving more, or using more simply by sitting in traffic?
