USA, New York
A new Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive poll shows that an increasing number of Americans are willing to consider an alternative-fueled car for their next vehicle purchase. Overall, almost half of the respondents cited environmental concerns as a motivation for choosing a "cleaner" car while nearly an equal percentage indicated that rising fuel costs would drive their decision to purchase an alternative-fueled vehicle.
Over a quarter of the respondents were willing to pay up to $1000 extra for an alternative-fueled vehicle, and 16 percent were willing to pay up to $20,000 in incremental costs when compared to 8 percent who were unwilling to pay additional costs associated with an alternative-fueled car.
