TORONTO, November 13th, 2008 -- Today, Kanetix (www.kanetix.ca), Canada's insurance marketplace, released the results of its latest Quick Poll that asked: Given the high cost of fuel, are you considering buying a more fuel-efficient car? Overwhelmingly, the results were 'Yes' at 73.6 per cent, and 'No' at 26.3 per cent.

While gas prices seem to rise and fall like the tide recently, it seems that consumers are thinking about alternatives to gas chugging vehicles, and are looking into the possibility of switching to more fuel-efficient cars (https://www.quote.rates.ca/ic_auto_info_auto_articles_37).

Co-founder of Kanetix.ca, George Small explains, "Canadians may have learned their lesson about fluctuating gas prices. While gas prices have come down in recent weeks, almost 74 per cent of people polled on Kanetix claim they're thinking about buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle (https://www.quote.rates.ca/tips-on-buying-a-fuel-efficient-vehicle).

Mr. Small goes on to elaborate that, "The results of the Quick Poll may very well suggest that people are tired of paying outrageous prices for gas, and are willing to make the switch to something that not only saves money, but is good for the environment."
