Who Buys Hybrid Cars?
More consumers are considering the advantages of purchasing a hybrid. The number one reason h is due to their smaller, fuel-efficient engines. ……….As prices at the gas pumps soar, people appreciate the benefits of driving an “alternative-fuel” vehicle. Approximately 88,000 hybrid vehicles were sold in the United States in 2004. This number grew to almost 200,000 in 2005. This is only a small fraction of the 15 million new vehicles sold in the United States each year. This is because hybrids that run on half gas and half electric power are not advertised as they should be.
