Will Your Next Car Be Gas or Electric? Most People Now Say Electric or Hybrid

All you Tesla owners must feel pretty good about yourselves with gas prices so high.  So will the rest of us follow suit?

A new poll asked 10,000 Americans what they’d buy if they were car-shopping today.  And over half said a hybrid, or a fully electric car.

37% would still go for a gas-powered engine . . . 24% would buy a hybrid . . . and 21% would buy an electric car.  Another 13% weren’t sure, and 5% said “none of the above.”  (What’s the other option?  Foot-powered like the “Flintstones”?)

Young people are more likely to want to make the switch.  Only 22% of people under 30 would buy a gas car, compared to 44% of seniors.
