Among their general findings are: Increasing battery power in plug-in hybrids (10-, 20- and 40-mile AER, from low to high power) had little effect on fuel consumption results because the battery power can provide most of the driving on the test cycles, so the fuel economy only differs slightly. —Brooker et al.

Performance standards produce predictable results because they require manufacturers to build more-efficient products, usually at very low cost—but in doing so, they make driving less expensive, which encourages consumers to drive more. Also, performance standards generally do not incentivize automakers to surpass the minimum requirements.
