Conservatives are more likely to buy larger American-made vehicles, and red states tend to have lower fuel costs than blue states because taxes are typically lower.

Compare the fuel costs of New York, California and Massachusetts to Texas, Montana and North Carolina.

Probably combined over all of the other 49 states. The cars are expensive and for the most part, sans the 911, are gas pigs and impractical. But, all those that own them along with Camaros, Mustangs, BMW M's, etc., do not care about whether they are practical or not.
Mc Rat, Now I have to think about my Chevy powered fish n' ski boat as my Camaro after your quote.
