RICHMOND, Va.--(Business Wire)--
CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation`s largest retailer of used cars, reports
that searches on carmax.com for hybrid vehicles has risen four percent in June
over May while diesel vehicle searches rose seven percent over the same time
period. Visits to the Fuel Economy section of carmax.com have risen 17 percent
over May as consumers look for ways to improve their gas mileage.

Searches on carmax.com for hybrid vehicles have continued to rise for the past
several months and are up four percent in June and nine percent since March.
Popular hybrid vehicles on carmax.com include the Toyota Prius, Lexus RX400h and
the Honda Civic hybrid. Hybrids combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor

efficiency.

percent over March figures. Popular diesel vehicles include the Ford F350, Dodge
Ram 3500 and the Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Currently marketed as "clean diesel,"
