It’s Good to Know: The Positive Side of High Gas Prices

It turns out that high gas prices aren’t all bad. Deaths from traffic accidents have dropped by as much as 20 percent in some states compared to this time last year, according to the National Safety Council. The death toll nationwide has dropped 9 percent. Researchers say that people have cut back on driving because of the expense, which means fewer accidents overall. The Arab oil embargo of the 1970s had a similar effect.
