National Research Council Study Finds That Available Technologies Can Result in Significant Fuel Savings for Passenger Vehicles Over the Next 15 Years, But at Higher Purchase Prices for Consumers

Green Car Congress

JUNE 4, 2010

Estimated price increases are based on current economic conditions and the concept of “incremental retail price equivalent (RPE) cost,” which represents the average additional price consumers would pay for a fuel economy technology. For example, the report notes the promise of cylinder deactivation, turbocharging and downsizing.
