This report provides a state-of-the-art summary of the means by which individual drivers can achieve more fuel-efficient vehicle operation. It identifies fuel-efficient driving behaviors, the means of influencing behavior, appropriate audiences for attempts to foster fuel-efficient driving behavior, the types of materials needed to communicate fuel-efficient operation, and delivery systems capable of handling the communication of information. The authors conclude that: (1) drivers lack critical items of information concerning fuel-efficient vehicle operation, (2) efforts to encourage fuel efficiency have been generally unsuccessful and are probably unnecessary, (3) there is no good system for providing training in fuel-efficient vehicle operation to large numbers of drivers, and (4) a federally-coordinated effort is needed to assure the delivery of up-to-date information to drivers.
