Rising Gas Prices drive demand for Fuel-Efficient Vehicles, resulting in manufacturer\u2019s Best Month Ever<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Wyatt-Johnson<\/em><\/span>Clarksville, TN<\/strong> – When Sidney Johnson purchased a fledgling Hyundai franchise in 1991 and welcomed it into the Wyatt-Johnson family, a gallon of gas cost $1.14. Two decades later, gas costs three times as much and the Wyatt-Johnson Auto Group recently marked the 20th anniversary of their partnership with the auto maker with the brand\u2019s highest monthly sales to date.<\/p>\n

There has been a recent demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars due to the rising gas prices nationwide (the national average for a gallon of unleaded gas is $3.73 a gallon \u2013 almost a dollar more than the average for the same time a year ago). Clarksville, too, has been feeling the strain of higher fuel costs \u2013 as a gallon of gas downtown will cost you $3.68.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese rising pump prices have led consumers towards more eco-friendly vehicles from makers like Hyundai, a brand that places strong emphasis on fuel-economy\u201d, says Katherine Johnson Cannata, Dealer Principal at Wyatt-Johnson. \u201cIn fact, the new Hyundai Elantra, which gets over 40 mpg highway, is so hot we have a waiting list and are selling them right off the truck.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, March 2011 was Hyundai\u2019s highest ever sales month in the auto-maker\u2019s history \u2013 and overall the brand is up 32% compared with the same period last year, with vehicles like the Elantra and the Sonata Hybrid leading the way.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s simple. American car buyers want to put great-looking cars that get great fuel economy in their driveways\u201d, says John Krafcik, the CEO of Hyundai Motor America.<\/p>\n

The same rings true for Clarksville consumers as well.<\/p>\n
