Gas prices linked to fewer auto deaths study says
A study by Michael Morrissey and David Grabowski suggests higher gas prices reduce driving and could cut auto fatalities by about a third, with teens 15 to 17 showing the largest drop. They warn shifts to smaller cars and more motorcycles might offset some gains. The work uses NHTSA fatality data from 1985 to 2006 and notes a symmetrical pattern when prices fall.
