OSTI ID:6609799

This report presents data collected in the 1985 Residential Transportation Energy Consumption Survey (RTECS). The survey was designed by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to provide information on how energy is used by households for personal vehicles. It is an integral part of a series of surveys designed by the EIA to collect data on energy used by households. Data from the surveys are available to the public through published reports such as this one and through public use data tapes. The RTECS collects data on the number and type of vehicles used by the household. For each vehicle, data are collected on the number of miles traveled for the year, the number of gallons of fuel consumed, the type of fuel used, the price paid for fuel, and the number of miles per gallon.
