PASSENGER CAR SPARK IGNITION DATA BASE. VOLUME II: DISCUSSION AND RESULTS

Test data was obtained from spark ignition production and preproduction engines at the engine and vehicle level. The engines were applicable for vehicles 2000 to 3000 pounds in weight. The data obtained provided trade-offs between fuel economy, power, emission constraints and emission control technology, and other relevent parameters. Volume II, the main body of the report, provides a discussion of the fuel economy and emissions obtained, a description of the engine/vehicle system tested and the results of factory driveability tests.
