LA Traffic

The average American will spend almost a full work week in traffic, according to a new study by the Texas Transportation Institute. The 38 hours per year the average commuter spends stuck in their car every year means 26 extra gallons of gas and $710 per person.

And, if one full work week wasted in traffic isn't enough, the still reigning champ of American traffic congestion has that number almost doubled. Commuters in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas will spend approximately 72 hours a years stuck in their cars - and some are saying that 72 hours/year might be a low figure - by as much as 40%, lol!!!

I was there for 3 days stuck in traffic the whole time!
