“As the temperature rises, so do fuel prices and a push for cars that get good gas mileage. Across the United States, gas prices have increased about 30 cents over the past month, and hybrid vehicle sales are at an all-time high. … According to the Toyota Motor Sales report, the company posted its best-ever monthly sales in March, which was boosted by record hybrid sales. According to the report, the company sold 28,453 hybrid vehicles last month, up 105 percent from the same period last year. The Toyota division sold 26,801 hybrids, while the Lexus division sold 1,652 hybrids. Honda, which mass-produces hybrids, posted its fifth-best month in history with help from the gas-electric vehicles.” (04/30/07)
