From Green Right Now Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the 40th anniversary of Earth Day approaching, Cars.com evaluated car shopping behavior nationwide to name the most eco-friendly cities. In the site’s 3rd annual Green Cities Index, San Francisco topped the charts, beating out all other cities based on its interest in hybrid vehicles as a percentage of total car shopping activity on Cars.com. <\/p>\n

Like last year, West Coast shoppers showed the greatest interest in hybrid vehicles. Last year’s winner, Eugene, Ore., dropped to fourth. The lone cities outside of California that made the top ten are Glendive, Mont., Madison, Wis. and Gainesville, Fla. The South continues to lag behind most major cities in the country in embracing hybrid vehicles. For the second straight year, Laredo, Texas, had the dubious distinction of being last on our list.<\/p>\n

“Outside the West Coast, smaller towns across the country with large state universities continue to show larger than normal interest in hybrid cars,” Olsen said. “Madison, Wis., home to the University of Wisconsin; Gainesville, Fla., home to the University of Florida; and Charlottesville, Va., home to the University of Virginia all appear in the top 15.”<\/p>\n
