    what about the weather?

    i agree that getting off the gas is hard, but is it possible that some of the extra driving this year is due to a horrible spring? here in ohio, i would normally have been biking most of march and all of april, but we had a downturn in the weather, and i turned to the car (for shame).

    maybe i'm overestimating the influence of something like this on gas consumption, but it's just a thought.
