Our friends over at Sharable have highlighted a new study on car sharing, and what the actual effects are. Most significantly:

Each car sharing vehicle on the road removed 9-13 personal vehicles---either sold after joining or a decision was made not to buy.

Car-sharing vehicles are usually efficient, saving significant amounts of gas.

Many households became car-free after joining.
