Canada. Auto insurance: 83 per cent of Canadians reconsider their choice of vehicle because of gas prices.

83 per cent of Canadians are reconsidering their choice of vehicle because of gas prices. But the cost of owning a car includes more than just the price of gas. It also includes insurance. So, if the intent of Canadians is to purchase more fuel-efficient cars because of the price of gas, then before buying the new car, drivers should make sure the savings in fuel is not taken up by a vehicle that costs them more to insure.

(I-Newswire) - October 20, 2005 – High gas prices have taken their toll on drivers. A recent poll conducted online through www.kanetix.ca asked, “Will the price of gas influence the type of vehicle you purchase next?” At a resounding 83 per cent, 1919 people out of 2308 answered yes.

“The intent to purchase fuel-efficient cars clearly exists,” said Gregory Ellis, co-founder of kanetix. “Our poll suggests that consumers are frustrated at the gas pumps and are willing to take action in the form of buying vehicles that guzzle less gas.”
