While this sounds like an all-too-logical conclusion, the study reports a 57% reduction in the benefits of driving the fuel efficient car for carbon emissions purely based on the purchase of the second vehicle. What we really wanted to do is see how households are making decisions when they purchase and own more than one vehicle.

A new MIT report outlines a system-oriented set of coordinated policies to help the light-duty vehicle sector reduce petroleum-based consumption and its accompanying global warming emissions. The study was supported in part by the MIT Energy Initiative. Taxes on motor vehicle fuels should be increased by $0.10

Normalized well-to-wake GHG emissions for low-, baseline- and high-emission cases for jet fuel pathways under different land use change scenarios. It is the result of research and analysis performed under the Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emission Reduction (PARTNER) at MIT and RAND. From Hileman et al. Hileman, David S.

An analysis by a team from the University of California, Davis, MIT and Yale suggests that households that buy a fuel-efficient vehicle tend to compensate for that purchase by buying a bigger, more powerful second vehicle. But we also find significant changes in usage patterns that further reduce the net fuel savings.

A team at MIT has analyzed what has accounted for the extraordinary savings and found that by far the biggest single factor was work on research and development, particularly in chemistry and materials science. Economies of scale comprises cost changes that result from increasing plant sizes and purchasing volumes.
