Abstract
We prove a higher integrability result - similar to Gehring's lemma - for the metric space associated with a family of Lipschitz continuous vector fields by means of sub-unit curves. Applications are given to show the higher integrability of the gradient of minimizers of some noncoercive variational functionals.
