EPA and NHTSA worked closely with the California Air Resources Board (ARB) in developing an Interim Joint Technical Assessment Report (TAR) of potential 2017-2025 scenarios. The two agencies expect to issue a proposal by 30 September 2011. In the TAR, the three agencies evaluated scenarios representing 3%, 4%, 5%, and 6% annual decreases in.

After 150 years, a CNG fleet would have produced about 10% less cumulative radiative forcing than a gasoline fleet: a benefit equivalent to a fuel economy improvement of 3 mpg in a 30 mpg fleet. CNG vehicles fare even worse in comparison to heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Alvarez, Stephen W. Pacala, James J. Winebrake, William L.
