Yes, plus that only those that drive to NYC, got quite a few that travel to Trenton or Philly.
Give a diffrent example, My Uncle Mike will drive from Helena MT, to Whirling WY (550 Miles) to visit my Great Grandma, or Drive to Billings MT(240 Miles) to visit my Aunt Linda with out even thinking about it, and that's pretty Typical of anyone in the state.

for years my dad drove a 1990 Geo Metro that got around 50 mpg... until someone ran a red light and hit him, totalling the car.we've taken a step backward as far as mileage goes I think.
Perhaps the answer is to charge those who own fuel efficient cars less than those who drive gas hogs. Those who care about getting good mileage are rewarded and those who can afford H2's wouldn't give a damn what fuel costs anyway.
Because no one that owns a truck actually uses it for the purpose it was designed for.

God knows I don't use my '89 Nissan hardbody to move furniture or transport firewood.
I'd tow a horse trailer with that thing if I wasn't afraid it couldn't make it up a hill.
It's not something people hear about.

Let me make sure I understand this right.
Someone that gets less MPG should not only have to buy more gas overall but also pay a higher fee? Or are you implying this with what you said? I'm not sure and want to make sure I fully understand you.

I think that there are alot of jobs where people have a large commute. For example, UBT and Josh and I all three work 60 miles away from where we live. It can take us anwhere from an hour, to sometimes 2 hours to get to work or back home, depending upon traffic.
The cheapest gas around here jumped up to $2.63/gal today. 
When UBT was still in the military he worked 50 miles from our home. Several other people I know have to commute to other cities, and even other states in some cases.
I don't think that it would be considered as the average person, but it isn't unheard of, and it can be pretty common in different areas. Places where there isn't enough decent housing, or if the person might be working as a Contractor at different jobsites.
So I guess the short answer would be, yes.. it could affect the average.

yeah, that's pretty much it.
I'd probably be in a middle bracket, I have a pickup that gets about 21 mpg but I also make use of the utility quite a bit... I'm probably going to pick up something that gets better mileage to drive around normally pretty soon. OMG... responsible use of fuel? say it isn't so!

If not the engine on the way up, it's the brakes on the way down.

It would be impossible to enforce.
Besides, people with lower MPG cars are already penalized because they have to fill up more often, plus they have to pay the "gas guzzler" tax when they buy the new car, there's no reason to add another penalty there. As long as those people are willing to pay for more fuelings, there's nothing wrong with them driving a guzzler if they want.

Incidently, as for oil in constant dollars:
On a possitive note I hear that drive by shooting are down.
