Abstract The demand for gasoline for auto passenger travel has been identified to be the most crucial aspect of energy policy in Australia. Qualitative as well as quantitative analysis has been presented to explore the energy saving potential of various measures in reducing travel demand and in making travel more energy efficient. A computer simulation model has also been developed to assess future fuel demand for automobiles in Australia in response to a variety of assumptions about social, economic, technological and policy variables. On the basis of the present analysis it is concluded that the passenger travel demand is less likely to be contained but a combination of conservation and efficiency measures can significantly reduce the energy intensity, thereby controlling the gasoline demand in the next 25 years to present consumption levels.
