In the face of higher gas prices than a year ago, it looks like drivers aren't considering downsizing their cars. USA Today reports that a new study by AutoPacific found that just 16 percent of respondents were planning on buying a smaller vehicle for their next car.

In addition to not wanting to downsize, the survey also revealed that a surprisingly large amount of drivers are sticking with SUVs and trucks. Specifically, 25 percent of those polled said they want an SUV or crossover for next year, and 14 percent said they prefer a pick up truck.

The news source says there may be a few reasons to explain the surprising numbers. Among them is the fact that many manufacturers are rolling out cars that are more fuel-efficient than ever, removing part of the need to downsize. Furthermore, 41 percent of respondents said they're combining trips in a car.

Regardless of whether or not you're looking to get behind the wheel of a smaller car or staying at the same size, New Jersey Auto Auction has plenty of makes and models at affordable prices.
