Selected DOE data bases were consolidated, documented, and applied to pertinent transportation issues. The primary data base studied was the NFO/Auto-Facts Gasoline Diary Panel, a market research survey of US households from April 1978 through March 1981 recording over 733,000 fuel purchases for their household vehicles. Also documented was the J.D. Power/DOE New Vehicle Owner Survey, a survey of 10,630 buyers of new 1978 and 1979 cars and light-duty trucks on the importance of fuel economy to new vehicle buyers. The final data base of the study was the Transportation Panel of the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), which characterizes the broad spectrum of energy use in residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors, using a stratified probability sample of fuel purchases for household vehicles. 5 figures, 28 tables.
