BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Capital area drivers who’ve spent a weekday morning stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-12 may have, at some point, noticed that they’re in the company of quite a few pickup trucks.
It’s no surprise that many drivers in the coastal state known as ‘Sportman’s Paradise’ prefer the power and towing ability of a truck.
In fact, according to one statistic, 23.6% of the nation’s pickup truck drivers are found in Louisiana, which puts Louisiana among the U.S.’s Top 15 states with the most pickup truck drivers.
But as gas prices continue to escalate, it may be helpful to consider the most fuel-efficient trucks of 2022.
