The Auto/Oil Air Quality Improvement Research Program (AQIRP) is a cooperative research program initiated by three domestic automobile companies and fourteen petroleum companies. This paper reports that its principal objective is to develop data on the potential improvements in vehicle emissions and air quality - primarily ozone - from reformulated gasoline, various alternative fuels, and their developments in automotive and fuel technology. Exhaust and evaporative emissions results for methanol/gasoline mixtures were determined for 19 early prototype flexible/variable fueled (FFV/VFV) technology types. This is but a portion of the wide-ranging AQIRP, which is providing a library of data - the largest such data set ever accumulated.
