253 Million Cars on the Road

When reading about energy efficiency and what a major change does (say increasing solar by 10 GW), I'm constantly reading:

Quote:
...or the equivalent to X million cars taken off the road.
It got me to thinking about what is the number of cars on the road. Found this article: Number of Cars

253 million cars on U.S. roadways!!! And the average age is over 11 years! This was a study done in June of last year, so it might have changed, but I doubt it changed by much (in either direction).

Just thought I'd share!
