It Isn’t All Bad
The U.S. Federal Energy Information Administration are reporting that summer gasoline use will be down in 2008, for the first time in 17 years.
Due in no small part to the high price of gasoline, Americans are finally beginning to drive less and use public transportation more. There’s also evidence that we might just be breaking our love affair with gas-guzzling SUVs.
Personally speaking, my SUV is a midsize and isn’t exactly gas-guzzling, but those little 4 cylinder engines are looking more and more attractive each time I fill up.
Nonetheless, the lower fuel consumption by Americans is certainly one upside of the high gasoline prices.
