In Houston alone, CarDealershipsDirectory.com has posted the contact information of over 70 local car dealers. The average price of unleaded gasoline is hovering around $3.20 per gallon in Houston, up 33% since last year. With the price of fuel going up, consumers are looking for more energy efficient vehicles to purchase.
According to the webmaster of CarDealershipsDirectory.com, sales of large SUVs have been taking a hit over the past year due to the rising gasoline prices. Due to the high prices of hybrids and the long wait times, consumers are still sticking with the conventional vehicle but one that is compact and energy efficient.
CarDealershipsDirectory.com suggests that if you are shopping for a vehicle in the Houston area, that you be certain to have a mechanic check out a car before purchasing it and as always, shop around.
