Well, what's most environmentally friendly is to GET OUT OF THE CAR and walk (or ride public transit). However, this notion is still political suicide in the US (and Germany), where driving anywhere you want at any time you want is conflated with political freedom. They aren't the same thing, after all, you are quite free to believe what you want and express yourself (within the law) while riding the bus to work.
I spend about $200 a month (and rising at the moment) for fuel to drive to work. I'm quite certain that walking up the road a couple miles to town and catching a bus down to work (especially over to the next town where I'm contracted three days a week) would cost somewhat less. To say nothing of not having to spend two hours a day driving -- I could read, do computer work, or etc. on the bus, rather than staring at the road and dodging people trying to kill me (either I'm getting twitching after that accident or people are paying LESS attention that usual while driving -- don't go a day anymore without at least one vehicle drifting over the center line toward me, correcting at the last second, or someone taking off out of turn at a stop sign). I'd weigh a lot less and probably wouldn't have high blood pressure if I walked!
