Multiple outlets report that Honda’s U.S. hybrid sales reach a new record in July as consumers respond to higher fuel costs. Carscoops and The Truth About Cars both say Honda sells more than 36,000 hybrid vehicles in the month, with The Truth About Cars citing a total of 36,609 hybrids purchased and calling it the company’s new July high. The reporting links the sales increase to climbing gasoline prices, with The Truth About Cars stating the national average rises to about $4.10 per gallon, up roughly 95 cents from a year earlier. Carscoops similarly attributes the stronger demand to gas prices breaking higher, noting that interest in Honda’s efficient models increases as fuel approaches or exceeds $4 per gallon. Together, the sources indicate the trend is broad across Honda’s hybrid lineup, with Carscoops also mentioning that interest in Honda sedans grows alongside the hybrid figures. Both accounts emphasize the same core point: rising gasoline prices coincide with record hybrid sales for Honda in July, with no competing figures presented in the provided reports.
