Interest in hybrids is growing according to new survey

According to a survey by Consumer Reports, "More than a third of American drivers say they are considering getting rid of their current vehicle in favor of something more fuel efficient." Half of those concerned are interested in hybrid cars. Interestingly, those most interested in hybrids are very concerned with oil consumption and the environment - not just fuel economy. Even more important; however, those not interested in a hybrid were primarily worried about costs. As hybrid technology improves in the next couple years and as prices reduce, the market for hybrids will be huge.
