Now, we would like to get an idea of your impression of the hybrid Prius in comparison to your personal vehicle. For this set of attribute ratings, please consider your normal vehicle as the benchmark. Assuming that your vehicle is rated as a “3” across all categories, please rate the hybrid Prius relative to how you think it performs versus your current vehicle.(Please select one response in each row below.)

For this question, we would like you to compare two hypothetical vehicles that you would be considering for purchase. The two vehicles are the same in terms of body style, features, and performance. One vehicle is more expensive to purchase but is more fuel-efficient, and thus it will save you money in fuel costs over time. “Model A” is the cheaper and less efficient one, and “Model B” is the more expensive and more efficient one. Model A gets 50 miles to the gallon, while Model B is 20% more fuel-efficient than Model A and gets 60 miles to the gallon. At current fuel prices, Model A has a fuel cost of $0.10 per mile versus $0.08 per mile for Model B. Your driving habits with the two vehicles are the same as they were before entering this study; there is no recharging with either vehicle.
Consider whether or not you would pay more for the “Model B” vehicle with improved fuel economy. If you would pay more, how much more would you pay? Consider the following table that lists many potential price differentials between Model A and Model B.
At each price differential, we would like you to indicate the probability with which you think you would opt for Model B over Model A. The price differential is only the difference in purchase price between the two vehicles; it does not account for the gasoline savings.
Please choose only one response for each row below.
