Despite adding six million more passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs to the roads over the last 10 years, California’s gasoline consumption has dropped over two billion gallons from its peak in 2005. Gasoline use per person has also fallen, from 445 gallons per year per person in 2005, to under 350 gallons per year per person in 2024.
