Floridians Driving Less, Buying Fuel Efficient Cars

July 11th, 2008 by flanews

Rising gas prices are changing people�s driving habits. Floridians are driving less and choosing more fuel efficient vehicles. Scooter sales are skyrocketing. According to a report released by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, in 2007 Floridians bought 40 fewer gallons of gas than they did just a few years ago. Sarah Williams, A Florida Department of Environmental Protection spokeswoman says less gas means less gas emissions.

�It means people are using less gasoline which means less emissions from their vehicles going into the air, which is good for our air quality for sure,� says Williams.

The report claims Floridians used 80 fewer gallons of gas in 2007 than during the peak oil years in the 70�s.
