Hybrid Sales Way Up in March

The Green Car Congress reports that US Hybrid Sales Rocket Upward in March. There were 16,619 hybrid vehicles sold last month -- more than any month to date. In the month with the second most hybrids sold, December 2004, a comparatively smaller 10,441 were purchased. Worldchanging is speculating that the bump is due to the rapidly increasing gas prices we've experienced in the last month. As the national average for gas has jumped .25$ in the last month alone setting new (non-inflation adjusted) records all along the way, I'm inclined to agree.
