Spacing Toronto's Matthew Blackett presents some interesting statistics from a CNN Money article about a national poll on how gasoliine prices are affecting (and will affect) American driving habits.
-
• Rising fuel prices have caused most Americans to cut back on their driving. Of the over 1,000 American adults surveyed in the poll conducted March 14-16, 64% said they have made some changes to their driving behavior as a result of higher gas prices, with 19% saying they have cut back on driving enough to have a major effect on their daily lives. And 5% say they have stopped driving altogether.
• If gasoline hits an average $4.50 a gallon Americans say they will reduce the miles they drive significantly enough to affect their daily lives.
• If gasoline hits an average of $8 a gallon, Americans said they would quit driving altogether.
