A study by Paul Leigh and Estrella Geraghty in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that a 20% increase in gasoline prices over one year saves 2594 lives in the US. Of these, 1994 people are saved because there are fewer accidents and 600 are saved because there is less pollution.
So, why do so many of us own cars in a city with excellent public transit?
