ANALYSIS OF THE FUEL CONSUMPTION IMPACT OF FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS FOR MY 1983-1985 LIGHT-DUTY TRUCKS

Fuel savings attributable to compliance with the final rulemaking by DOT have been estimated with the use of the Highway Fuel Consumption model. The analysis assumes that the domestic light truck manufacturers meet (and do not exceed) the composite CAFE standards for MY 1983-1985 without the use of diesels. This assumption corresponds with that used in the DOT regulatory analysis of the rulemaking. Fuel savings through the year 2000 are calculated using 1982 fuel economy levels as a baseline. These estimates are then compared with those developed by the DOT.
