NRDC ranks states on 'oil addiction'


The Natural Resources Defense Council ranked Vermont the 31st most 'oil addicted' state in the nation, based on the percentage of income its residents spent on gasoline last year. The average amount Vermont motorists spent on gasoline was $1,856. It also ranked 16th in terms of taking action to reduce this dependency on oil, including smart growth and support for regional planning commissions.
