Gas Prices Cause Drop In Miles Traveled
It seems the American public has finally (finally!) reached the point at which it is unwilling to waste gas anymore.
In April 2008, Americans drove 245.9 billion milles, compared to 250.3 billion in April 2007. Indeed, the April 2008 figure is lower than the April 2004 figure.
Amazing, hey everyone go get on a bike, it’s not that bad and you will feel great! Save some money, save the planet!
