AAA projects Memorial Day travel and a 1.6 percent annual rise in U.S. gasoline use, while surveys show only 3 to 9 percent would cut driving or buy more fuel efficient cars at various price levels. Industry sees hybrid tech and aging population temper long term demand.

EPA weighs changing fuel mileage labels on cars
EPA may adjust how it calculates fuel efficiency on new vehicles after a Bluewater Network petition. The group argues current stickers overstate real MPG, citing a 20 MPG average on the road and costs to owners. EPA seeks more data before any decision in coming years.
