Studies have shown clearly that the CAFE standards, which raise average gas mileage, have had almost no effect on gasoline consumption. People drive by the total cost of driving--that is, because they need to spend less on fuel, they drive more. So hybrid drivers, predictably, will simply drive more than they otherwise would.
