So, a savings of 1.2billion gallons by inflating equals a savings of .84%. Still looking for that 3 to 4% number.

Who wrote that report ? How much crack were they doing ?
It says that one could achieve an annual savings of about half a gallon of gas ($1.50 to $2.30 dollars) and then says it could represent 1.2 billion gallons. I'm pretty sure that America does not have 2.4 billion vehicles rolling around out there if there are only 300k+/- people.
