The thing that we don't know though, is the the division by distance traveled.  If people travel 18 miles round trip to work.  And make 9-2 mile round trips to the the grocery and shopping, then they take the same amount of gas even if the graph says that work travel is 10% of trips by purpose.

I just noticed that too. A breakdown of total miles instead of total trips would be far more useful. The categories are ambiguous as well.

There is publicly available microdata available. Right hand column 4 boxes down.

The next survey is set for release in 2009, which should be interesting to see.
