Current understanding and modeling capability of stochastic processes in engines remains limited and prevents designers from achieving significantly higher fuel economy, the workshop found. Achievable advances in engine technology can improve the fuel economy of automobiles by over 50% and trucks by over 30%. Stochastic processes.

LDV energy use is driven by both LDV fuel economy and travel behavior, as measured by vehicle miles traveled (VMT). LDV VMT per licensed driver peaked in 2007 at 12,900 miles per year and has since decreased to 12,500 miles in 2012. Before the 2007 peak, travel behavior in the United States tracked closely with economic growth.
