Fuel Delivery Temperature Study
This report quantifies the benefits and costs associated with automatic temperature compensation (ATC) for retail sales of gasoline and diesel fuels in California. The cost-benefit analysis concludes that the results are negative or a net cost to society under all the options examined, however, when quantified by cents per gallon these costs are small. The estimated total annual recurring net costs to society, if completely passed through to consumers, could amount to between eight hundredths (8/100) and 18 hundredths (18/100) of a cent per gallon. It is also unlikely that there are any plausible circumstances consumers could receive a small net benefit with installed ATC devices at California’s retail stations.
