Californians slowed their fuel guzzling last year as prices hovered above $3 a gallon. By Elizabeth Douglass
If only that were true nationally. On a year-to-year basis, during
the run-up in gas prices over the last few years, U.S. demand only
went negative in the fall of 2005 (down 3.5% from Sep 04 to Sep 05,
and slightly from Oct 04 to Oct 05). That’s when gas hit nearly $3/
gal nationally. Now, it’s pushing back to those levels, yet demand is
up 3.8% over last April.
