Does Jevons Paradox apply to fuel efficiency in cars?

According to Wikipedia, Jevons Paradox states that "as technological improvements increase the efficiency with which a resource is used, total consumption of that resource tends to increase, rather than decrease." From what I read, the Paradox does not apply to all resources, but I was wondering if it applies to gasoline (especially in developing countries where the price elasticity of fuel tends to be higher). Also, if fuel efficient cars increase fuel consumption, is there a pro-environment justification for increasing fuel efficiency without curbing emissions per gallon of gasoline?
