Bumper to Bumper

Just off a ship, imported cars jam a parking lot at the port of Baltimore before trains and trucks pick them up for delivery to dealers along the mid-Atlantic coast and into the Midwest. "We get a shipment like this every day," says spokeswoman Rebecca Barber. "More than 520 vehicle carriers unload here every year." Around the country more than six million cars arrive from abroad annually, contributing to an addiction to driving that has helped make the U.S. the biggest consumer of oil—and oil-based products like gasoline—in the world.
