Results of a survey released by Maritz Research demonstrates that while US consumer awareness about alternative fuel vehicles continues to grow, only about one in five consumers state they are “very familiar” with any alternative-fuel technologies. Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles rose from 15 to 22%.

A poll conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Audi of America found that a majority of American drivers would support government initiatives aimed at spurring clean diesel vehicle sales in the US. But, we argue that diesel needs an even playing field set by state and federal governments. We need to level the playing field.
