Highway fuel-consumption model. Seventh quarterly report

Technical Report · Thu Apr 15 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:5268860

The Highway Fuel Consumption (HFC) model is used to evaluate the impact of conservation policies on fuel consumption and on the disaggregate components of fuel demand. These components include passenger cars, light trucks, and medium and heavy-duty vehicles. The current output of the HFC model is briefly summarized. The trends in highway fuel demand are outlined by vehicle type and by fuel type. Specific detail on the input data and assumptions used to generate the HFC model output are provided. The model has recently been used to assess the fuel demand implications of alternative estimates of future trends in the shortfall between EPA-measured and on-road fuel economy. In addition, the fuel consumption impacts of revised estimates of annual miles driven per vehicle by vintage year have been analyzed. (LEW)
