Four-Cylinder Engine market share increasing

As gas prices go up more new car buyers are choosing four cylinder engines. J.D. Power reports that four cylinders have 37.9 percent of sales, which is a 6.8 percent increase since 2003. Six cylinders have dropped dramatically to 39.8 percent from 45.6 percent in 2003. Eight cylinders have also dropped and now have 20.4 percent of sales. With the upward trend in gas prices, I expect four cylinders to be the dominate engine choice in a few years.
