Although relationships have been established for fuel effects on the emissions performance of current technology vehicles that comply with today's emission standards, less has been reported about these same fuel effects on vehicles operating at or near future Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) or Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) tailpipe emission levels. The work summarized here focuses on the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) emission performance of three late-model vehicles outfitted with electrically heated catalytic converter (EHC) systems for two widely different gasoline compositions. The gasoline blends used here include an industry-average gasoline (RF-A, from the Auto/Oil program) representative of today's gasolines and a severely reformulated fuel blend that complies with the 1996 Phase 2 California gasoline standards. This dataset begins to assess fuel effects in vehicles operating at low tailpipe emission levels representative of future emission performance capabilities.
