Traffic in the United States
- America is a nation on wheels. To get where they need to go, 90 percent of Americans say they usually drive, reporting an average of 87 minutes a day behind the wheel. For car commuters, it's an average of 100 minutes; for parents with children at home, an average of 104 minutes (compared with 77 minutes for people without kids at home).
There's your fuel wasting culprit, NOT what you drive!
You DO have choices to cut that commute, but it involves sacrificing a larger home for a smaller one nearer your employment. If you're so goddamned concerned about saving fuel, then YOU bite the bullet and move closer to work. It's none of your fvcking business what type of vehicle others use to commute. There's a good chance your puddle jumper, eensie-mobile, econobox, death trap uses as much fuel per year on your insanely long commute, as the soccer mom uses in her 4K annual miles running errands in her monstrous SUV.
