After decades of growth, average car use per adult suddenly leveled off during the 2000s. This break in trend resulted mainly from rising fuel prices, and was reinforced by the recessionary effects of the economic crisis and a beginning of the saturation of driving license and car ownership from the late 2000s, with the ending of a transition of the way of life toward a mobility achieved by car. This chapter examines the implementation of a basic model of average car travel per adult ‐ vehicle*kilometers traveled (VMT), based on motorization rates of adults and energetic purchasing power. Models, are used to forecast car travel, in particular on the period 1995‐2010, characterized by strongly increasing fuel prices. The chapter assesses the effect of rising fuel prices on energy poverty, depending on income and zone of residence. It also examines the effects of increasing fuel prices on household vulnerability.
