General Motors hasn’t seen much shift in sales following gas price increases as a result of the war in Iran, the automaker’s finance chief said on Wednesday.

“Usually it takes four to six months of sustained high oil prices before people start to think, ‘Maybe I should go for less mileage, or maybe I should buy down,’ I don’t think we see that,” he said at a Bank of America Conference. The price of the average U.S. gallon of gasoline has risen 27 per cent since late February, up to $3.72, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Tuesday.
