"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%
Aaah, nice catch! I also thought of diesel first, but came to the same conclusion as you.
