Abstract
Last year's technology and miles per gallon automotive trend report noted an 0.4 mile per gallon decline in average passenger car fuel economy from 1988. Regarded as possibly just a one-time blip in the curve, the decline was neither emphasized nor subject to any close scrutiny. The model year 1990 data is in, and it shows another decline in fuel economy--it is now a two-year trend. If this backslide continues, problems with nationwide fuel consumption will increase and global warming trends will worsen at a pace faster than is generally being assumed by analysts. Thus it is appropriate to explore some of the characteristics of, and causes for, of the downward miles per gallon trend.
