President Preckwinkle made a few brief remarks, noting the major link between transportation and economic development. Although a wide variety of vehicles are shown this year, a major feature will be hybrid vehicles. According to the U.S. Department of Energy you could save about $1,700 in fuel costs each year by choosing a fuel efficient vehicle. Hybrids come in all varieties and are sold at dealerships all over Cook County. With the Jan. 1 rollback of the Cook County sales tax to .75%, taxpayers can save money when purchasing fuel for hybrid vehicles, while also making a positive environmental impact. She encouraged visitors to get a chance to check out the vast array of high performance, sport-utility, and hybrid vehicles featured this year, and learn about the trends and innovations in the auto industry.
