A new Ford Motor Company-sponsored poll of 6,000 people across Europe found that most Europeans remain committed to car ownership, but have growing concerns about traffic congestion, the cost of driving and the environment. By comparison, 66% of those polled have owned a gasoline engine vehicle and 38% have owned a diesel engine vehicle.
