More good - bad news for cars.
Sales decline.
June auto sales for the U.S. show a whopping 6.6% decline over June 2006. That's according to Ward's AutoInfoBank, and published in the New York Times. The annual selling rate has dropped from around 17 million a year (both cars and "light trucks") to 15.54 million a year.
Carriages and buggy sales declined about 10% between 1900 and 1910, so car sales are on pace with the buggy's phase-out 100 years ago.
Gas staions decline.
Maybe not near you, but in New York City. The number of gas stations has plummeted 9% in just four years. Not a good sign for cars either.
