Where Our Cars Are Killing Us

Posted by Sheila Redick on July 15, 2008

We came upon this interesting city ranking in Men's Health:

Complete with an interactive map, the pub ranks cities overall and then individually on pollution, number of miles driven, amount of gas consumed and other measures.  It's an intriguing list, but we have to question one of the rankings in particular, which claims that Los Angeles consumes the LEAST amount of gas of any U.S. city.  At the same time, L.A. is the second highest in the amount of fuel wasted in stop-and-go traffic.  it also lands in the middle of the number of miles driven yearly and 26th in transit use. Hmmm.  Something doesn't quite add up.

Check out the link to the ranking here:
