Gasoline shortfall may reduce Oklahoma traffic deaths
Oklahoma officials hopeful the 1973 energy crisis will lower highway fatalities. Through November the toll was 60 fewer than 1972, aided by fuel cutbacks and slower speeds, though December and holiday weekends could alter the trend. Drunk-driving enforcement and vehicle inspections cited as key factors. December shows dramatic drop in deaths versus 1972, but weather and travel spikes remain risks.
