Reporting must include fuel consumption test results over the entire engine map of the prototype compared with a second, unmodified, otherwise identical engine. All fuel consumption testing must be conducted according to engine industry norms. Statistically valid fuel economy improvements (95% confidence level) of at least 4.0%

Out of the two failed tested engine types, both successfully completed the reference testing on E0. For the failed engine which also failed on E0 reference fuel, the failures can not be directly linked to the ethanol content.

Also, the list of standard test procedures addressed in SAE J1711 has been expanded to cover all five major test cycle procedures (UDDS, HFEDS, US06, SC03, and Cold FTP) now being used to evaluate vehicle fuel economy. There are two basic exhaust emissions and fuel economy tests described in J1711. Earlier post.)

Higher fuel economy of CAVs will cause the per-mile fuel cost of travel to drop. This, in turn, will induce additional travel that partially offsets the fuel savings of energy efficiency—commonly referred to as a “rebound effect”. Traditionally, time spent driving has been viewed as a cost to the driver.

However, taking into account inter-trip charging information can significantly improve the fuel economy of PHEVs. To address these limitations, we herein propose a generic framework of on-line EMS for PHEVs that uses an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to optimize vehicle fuel economy in real time.
