This is a good point. Polk (author of the study) is in the business of consulting to auto makers, so they talk about new vehicle sales.
And we know that anyone crunching a vehicle decision purely on the numbers (which implies getting good fuel economy is also a motivation) has already ruled out buying a brand new vehicle, hybrid or not, regardless of how wealthy they are.
