If gas prices hit $4.00 today, what would happen?
According to a survey by Cars.com,
40 percent of car shoppers would immediately buy a
more fuel efficient vehicle today. Another 41 percent
would buy a more fuel efficient vehicle when they were
ready to buy another auto.
However, if gas were $3.75, instead of $4.00, only 29
percent would buy a more fuel efficient vehicle.
Even more noteworthy, at $2.50 - 2.75, 64 percent of
new car shoppers won't even consider a more fuel
efficient vehicle.
I guess it's not really that surprising that US
automakers are still dragging their feet on cheap hybrid
cars, or even a real push towards hybridizing
their truck fleets. Without much higher gas prices,
Americans just aren't that interested.
