Though the price of a gallon of gas has moved back above $2 this month, it’s still just half what it was at last summer’s peak. And, according to BIGresearch polling, this is reflected in consumers’ current thinking about the type of vehicle they might purchase.

Among those who are in the market for a vehicle, 55 percent said they’re considering a car, down from 63 percent a year earlier. (The new polling was fielded at the very end of March and first week of April.)
