In 2005 we saw fuel prices so high that many had opted to buy hybrid vehicles and they quickly sold out. There were waiting lists at Toyota and Honda for all models. And the Toyota Prius was the car of the year. The United States Congress and Senate passed an energy bill, which had many incentives for those who bought hybrid vehicles. Many of these tax breaks began on January 1, 2006, which meant that some car buyers had waited until 2006 to buy the cars they wanted.

Meanwhile, Daimler Chrysler and other automakers are doing their best with incentives for people to buy their gas-guzzling SUV models like Jeeps. It offers payments of $ 58.00 per month, rebates of $ 1,000 and free oil changes, maintenance and gas allowance for two years. With those kinds of incentives, they will surely sell vehicles. However, you can expect hybrid vehicle trends to accelerate even so.

In fact, we expect new models to come out in 2006 to meet consumer demand and alleviate some of these waiting lists. Fuel prices are also expected to gradually recede, driving additional demand for such vehicles during 2006 and 2007. The free market and consumer choice to save fuel may still save the environment, say some global warming alarmists. Just think that the answer to your solution from the start is free market and capitalism and no more rules and regulations, which is the exact opposite of what the opposite party of the current leadership in the US represents. Think about this in 2006.
