COMPARISONS OF EXHAUST EMISSIONS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION CHARACTERISTICS: 1974 AND 1975 AUTOMOBILES

Exhaust emission and fuel consumption data for 1974 and 1975 California automobiles were generated using the EPA Federal Test Procedure. Conclusions discuss emission reductions achieved and the cost of future reductions. Further research to investigate fuel consumption measurement methods is suggested.
