This table is ultimately misleading, as percent change penalizes early adopters (like California) where absolute percentage would give a better indication of market saturation.
Interesting none the less.
Remember back in 2001 When the NY Times ran this story?

G.M. Will Oppose Efforts To Tighten Fuel Efficiency
KEITH BRADSHER
Published: June 18, 2001
General Motors is taking a stand against efforts to raise federal fuel-economy standards.
G.M.'s chief executive, Rick Wagoner, said on Friday that the company would oppose not only any move to increase fuel-economy standards for automobiles, but also any effort to tighten the definition under which vehicles are considered light trucks, which qualify for more lenient gas-mileage standards than cars.
Mr. Wagoner said in an interview with reporters that federal regulation of automotive fuel economy had been a failure and should be scrapped, not reworked. ''Suffice it to say, it hasn't worked and, in our view, it won't work,'' he said.
He argued that Americans would not want fuel-efficient vehicles as long as gasoline prices remain very low in the United States, at least by international standards.
