| Abstract |
Energy conservation has become a major national commitment. An important element of this commitment is a national strategy to improve the fuel economy of the new car fleet through a regulatory program involving stringent fuel economy standards that each manufacturer must meet for its corporate sales-weighted fleet. To insure consumer cognizance of the fuel economy implications of the consumer's purchase decision, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act established a fuel economy labeling program whereby each new vehicle is posted with its expected fuel economy. The Keystone to this program is the Federal Test Procedure developed by EPA to quantify and regulate emissions reductions for environmental purposes. These same procedures are also utilized as the yardstick of fuel economy measurement. Recent suggestions that EPA fuel economy estimates significantly over-predict actual vehicle fuel economy prompted EPA to conduct a number of studies designed to explore the representativeness of the EPA methodology. The objective of this report is to summarize the results and conclusions of these studies. |
