Consumers Run Out of Gas When It Comes to Changing Their Driving Patterns | |
|
||
| Time: 08:18 EST/13:18 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
A new survey conducted by the MSN® Carpoint™ service, the most visited car-buying and car-ownership site on the Web, revealed that many Americans are slow to change their driving behavior despite high gas prices. 66 percent of those polled in the MSN Carpoint.com Fast Facts May 2001 survey said that the rising cost of gas has not influenced their driving patterns, including driving more, driving less or carpooling. When those surveyed were asked what vehicle they were considering purchasing or leasing in the next 12 to 18 months, 33 percent indicated an SUV, which is among the least fuel-efficient autos on the road. Sedans ranked second at 30 percent, and compacts, which usually get the best mileage per gallon, gathered one of the smaller percentages of consumers with 19 percent. | ||
