Americans drive three trillion miles a year, equal to 820 trips between Pluto and the sun. The United States uses 178 million gallons of gasoline a day. A spike in gas prices affects everything from the cost of bread to the amount of taxes available for community needs. A sharp rise or fall, instead of more gradual movement, can have a huge impact on the world's economy.
