V-6, V-8 Engines Lose Ground
V-6, V-8 Engines Lose Ground in Weak ’09
Mar 15, 2010
Although 2008’s skyrocketing fuel prices began fading from the American psyche in 2009, consumers apparently weren’t ready to resume profligate energy consumption, a Ward’s survey of ’09 model-year light-vehicle production by engine size and type shows.
With gasoline prices hovering just over $2.00 per gallon through much of the year, the installation rate for V-6 and V-8 engines fell to 57.1%, from 63.9% in ’08, continuing a 5-year decline from a peak this decade of 76.2% in ’04.
