A new Rasmussen telephone poll found that 81% of Americans oppose an “ increase the tax on gasoline by a large amount ” as a way to encourage the purchase of more fuel-efficient cars. Only 22% of Americans are willing to spend more to buy an energy-efficient hybrid car to help the environment. Only 18% supported a mileage tax.

The vast majority of Americans drive to work, but even the threat of higher gas prices doesn’t seem to be encouraging them much to carpool, take public transportation or buy an energy-efficient hybrid car, according to a new Rasmussen survey. Government workers are four times as likely as those who work in the private sector to buy a hybrid.

Both conventional hybrids and diesel vehicles have increased market share slightly since MY 2007. The bulk of this production share is accounted for by non-hybrid gasoline vehicles, although other technologies, including hybrids, electric vehicles, and diesel vehicles are also represented.

Compared to the engine and transmission technologies discussed above, there has been far less growth in the production shares of hybrid and diesel powertrains and cylinder deactivation (CD). The number of non-hybrid SUVs that achieved 25 mpg increased from four in MY 2008 to 17 in MY 2013, more than a four-fold increase.
