Last June gas prices skyrocketed - they do this every single year, right
when the summer vacation season starts and demand is at its peak.
You can bet that this June, prices will yet again hit a new all time
high.

This, in turn, will probably spur new interest in hybrid and alternative
vehicles - where fuel prices to operate these vehicles would be much
more stable (gas/electric hybrids) and predictable (hydrogen cars).

Combine this with a federal tax credit for switching to/adopting the
new technology and maybe, just maybe consumers will be more interested
in buying these cars.  They MUST make financing for the new cars available
and affordable also.

For all the talk about costs of gas, and the environment, it seems that the public is not buying into the need for driving hybrid cars, or at least that is what the Los Angeles Times is reporting.

Hybrid car sales go from 60 to 0 at breakneck speed

What will it take to win over the buying public when talk and reason don't seem to work?

And how can you convince John Q Public to open up his wallet in these bad economic times?
