In this crisis, perhaps it's time indeed to think about smaller cars...and less / slower driving ? We did it in the 1970s.
Since 1988
• Average vehicle weight increased 26%.
• Average vehicle size increased 20%.
• Share of Trucks/SUV’s vs. Cars went from 30% to 80%.
The war-inspired oil crisis of the 1970’s caused a major shift towards smaller cars. Will today’s gasoline prices do the same?
