“Where are the missing 55%?”

Diesel? Stat specifically says gas combustion. But that doesn’t make ANY sense unless they ran the poll somewhere outside the US.

Oho… I think I have it figured out…

Follow the logic:

"Among those who purchased a car or truck in the last 12 months…

3.71% - New Electric
27.32% - Gas Combustion
13.53% - New Hybrid

So of the people buying a car or truck in the past 12 months, 44.56% bought NEW vehicles. The remaining 55.44% bought USED.

The failing is excluding the word “new” from the gas purchases while it’s included in the other two.

Then they relay the used statistics.

41.91% - Used ICE
9.02% - Used Hybrid
4.51% - Used Electric

55.44%
