MILES DRIVEN VS. GASOLINE AFFORDABILITY Americans drove 3.04 trillion miles in 2014, surpassing the record 3.03 trillion miles posted in 2007. Vehicle miles traveled on U.S. roads increased by 2.6 percent from 2.97 trillion in 2013 to 3.04 trillion vehicle miles in 2014. This marks the third consecutive year that miles traveled experienced an increase since its 0.7 percent drop in 2011. Steady job growth, increased productivity, falling unemployment numbers, business investments and low gasoline prices contributed to the increase in miles driven over the past two years. While the economy continues on a path to a recovery, volatile gasoline prices per gallon for all grades is considered a major impediment toward achieving higher vehicle miles traveled. The nationwide average price per gallon of gasoline as of February 2015 was $2.30. Given the low gasoline cost, some experts are predicting a banner year on the road for Americans this summer, leading to increased vehicle miles traveled in 2015.
