Not coincidentally, the first Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for new cars and light trucks became effective with 1978 model-year vehicles. Total consumption (millions of gallons). Therefore, the table below shows the consumptions per capita for selected years between 1965 and 2020. Consumption per capita (gallons).

gallon in late 2016 and it has remained near that level so far in 2017. This price difference, or spread, has been generally increasing since 2000. EIA suggested that the upward trend in premium gasoline sales is likely driven by changes in fuel requirements for light-duty vehicles in response to increasing fuel economy standards.

Steel’s strength has multiplied by almost 10 times over the past 20 years, from 270 to 2000 MPa tensile strength. However, each material used in vehicle production contributes to lightweighting and improves fuel economy, but each does so at a different cost to the manufacturer—and to the environment.

Do they receive HOV access for their improved fuel economy and ultra low emissions? In fact in 6 of the states, diesel fuel is penalized with additional state taxes. So diesel fuel gets taxed twice or penalized twice at the federal and state level. Advanced diesel will increase to 23% in 2025 from 17% in 2016.

Auto manufacturing capacity continues to grow, and annual output could reach the 100 million mark by 2016. Greater fuel efficiency, along with the use of cleaner fuels, can help mitigate these impacts, although increases in the numbers of cars and the distances driven threaten to overwhelm fuel economy advances.
