Fuel Efficiency
U.S. railroads moved a ton of freight an average of 436 miles per gallon of fuel consumed in 2007, a 3.1% improvement over 2006 and 85.5% better than in 1980, according to the Association of American Railroads. Noting that railroads are "three or four times more fuel efficient than trucks," AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger points out that "if just 10% of the freight currently moving by truck went instead by rail, the nation could save one billion gallons of fuel per year."
