It did - somewhat. For a few months. There was a waiting list for Toyota Prii in the US in mid-late 2008. Then fuel prices went down and most people forgot about it. Then came the "Cash For Clunkers" program. And a few more people bought more fuel-efficient vehicles.
I can't speak for anyone else's situation, but I spend a LOT more of my income feeding myself than I spend feeding and maintaining my vehicles. I spend more on property taxes than I spend on vehicle fuel. I may even spend more on ethanol than I spend on E10 gasoline.
