Ladies love fuel efficiency

According to a study commissioned by GM, attitudes are changing regarding the hottest cars on the block.

Nearly 9 in 10 women surveyed (88%) said they would rather chat up someone that owns a fuel-efficient car over someone with a sports car.

Four in five car buyers agreed that, at a party, they would rather talk to someone with a fuel efficient car over someone with the latest sports car.*

45 percent of 18-43 year olds say it's a "fashion faux-pas" to have a vehicle that is environmentally unfriendly.

The moral of the story is, ladies like the hybrids. So if you want the ladies to love you, go fuel efficient. They'll love you even more if you spend all the gas money you save on taking them to dinner. Just don't drive to a restaurant that's far away.
