Hey, not sure where this should be, but I have a paper due on Thursday for my Economics class. I was thinking of doing my paper on, "Hybrid Sales and Gas Prices, 2000-2007" My question was, does anyone have any good sources for graphs and/or information/stats. I found an MSN graph with avg. gasoline price and Hybrid Sales 2000-2007. Anything else?
Since the hybrid market started with many misconceptions and some automakers fighting change, sales were affected by many factors other than gas. As for gas price info, all my fill-ups over the past 8 years are documented in my spreadsheets. Just follow the link... .
What's your premise? What are you trying to demonstrate? I think its pretty obvious that as gas prices have risen, so have hybrid sales. Not to be critical, but I'm not sure that is a really compelling paper. But if you dig a bit more, maybe there is a different angle that you could cover. For instance, I thought this was an interesting economic concept: feebates. Just a thought.
