The report summarizes the Light Duty Vehicle Fuel Consumption Model developed for the Office of Conservation and Advanced Energy Systems Policy in the Department of Energy. The purpose of the model is to estimate annual passenger auto (PA) and non-passenger auto (NPA) fuel consumption through 1986. The model is intended to: (1) provide information on future estimated petroleum demand for the majority of the US transportation sector; and (2) generate a better understanding of the trends in fuel consumption in light of fuel economy standards issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA). The model also is designed to provide disaggregated data for PA's and NPA's in order to anayze their relative importance in estimating total fuel consumption and to calculate the proportion of diesel, leaded, and unleaded fuels in total fleet consumption.
