| Abstract |
In-use motor vehicle evaporative hydrocarbon emissions greatly exceed their applicable EPA emission standards. The primary reason is that the volatility of commercial gasoline is substantially greater than that of the certification test fuel specified by EPA (i.e., vehicles are simply not designed to handle the fuel volatility they regularly experience). The long-term solution is to equate the volatilities of commercial and certification test gasolines. This can be done at: (1) the current volatility of commercial gasoline, (2) that of certification test gasoline, or (3) at some point in between. However, in the short term, only the reduction of commercial gasoline volatility has a significant environmental benefit, since the effect of certification fuel modifications must await the turnover of the vehicle fleet. This study examines the technological feasibility, costs, emission reductions, air quality impacts and cost effectiveness of the various long-term and short-term solutions to this problem. |
