A recent Forbes article ranks the Triangle as the most gas-guzzling metro area in the country. The average Triangle household drives 21,800 miles per year. Assuming an average 20.3 miles per gallon, that is 1,074 gallons per year.
Charlotte ranked 2nd worst. The Triad area ranked 6th worst.
It is worth noting that Raleigh ranked fairly low on a recent Forbes air quality study.
