Gas Prices Rise, The Most Efficient Way to Get Around: A Bicycle

Rising gas prices prompt a ranking of travel options by energy per mile (kWh/mi). The list shows bicycles as the most energy-efficient, with walking and the subway also very efficient when considering per-person energy use; electric vehicles like the Lucid Air and Kia EV6 are highly efficient as well, while internal-combustion options vary (the Prius remains a benchmark among ICE cars). Practical tips: bike or walk for short trips, and consider carpooling or transit to maximize energy savings, noting that efficiency depends on occupancy and vehicle design.
