BETTY T. YEE: CALIFORNIA'S GAS USE RISES 0.6%; DIESEL DECLINES 7%
Betty T. Yee, Chairwoman of the Board of Equalization (BOE), today announced that California gasoline consumption rose in May, while diesel fuel continued to decline.
"We're in an uncertain time," said Chairwoman Yee. "While more fuel efficient cars and trucks are increasing fuel economy - and in light of some of the recently improved economic statistics - consumers remain cautious in their spending as the economy continues toward an uncertain recovery."
Figures released today show that gasoline consumption rose by 3.5 percent from April, and was 0.6 percent higher than a year ago. Diesel consumption declined by 4.8 percent from April, and was 7.0 percent lower than a year ago.
May 2009 gasoline sold for use on California roads totaled 1.29 billion gallons of gasoline, which was 0.6 percent above that of May 2008, when Californians consumed a total of 1.28 billion gallons of gasoline.
