According to the Internet analysis and research firm
Hitwise, America's concern over high
gas prices has sparked a sharp increase in on-line searches for
alternative fuel sources. Searches for '
ethanol' information, for example, rose 212 percent in May over the previous month, while searches on
biodiesel information rose 100 percent in the same time frame. Since January, traffic on
Toyota's and
Honda's websites increased 42 and 19 percent respectively, which Hitwise attributes to possible interest in their
hybrids and new small cars.
