Washington state to spend $450,000 studying 'gasoline superusers':
) 2017 National Household Travel Survey . The NHTS surveyed 130,000 households, the FHWA calling it"the authoritative source on the travel behavior of the American public" because of nationwide data on every mode of non-commercial travel and the people making the journeys. Coltura coined the term"gasoline superuser" based on the fact that, according to the NHTS, 10% of light-duty-vehicle drivers use 32% of the gasoline bought by all light-duty drivers.
. Coltura's report identified the bulk of superusers as living in rural areas, in the middle of the country or well beyond the suburbs, co-executive director Matthew Metz telling the,"[For] these superusers, there really is no substitute for driving for most of them. Either they’re tradespeople who are driving long distances in a pickup, or they live in exurbia where there’s no transit. They don’t have other options.
What the organization wants to see are EVs and infrastructure that serve the needs of these drivers, not measures that try to compel superusers into EVs. One idea mentioned was to base EV incentives on how much gasoline a person uses, thewriting,"Under this plan, superusers would receive a much greater incentive than someone who doesn’t drive a lot."Related video:
