Gasoline engines are chosen by 85% of A-segment customers in Europe. “ l/100 km (fueleconomy of 53.5
The rising fueleconomy of LDVs more than offsets the modest growth in VMT, resulting in a 25% decline in LDV energy consumption decline between 2012 and 2040 in the AEO2014 Reference case. This is, however, less than the 13% share projected in AEO2013 because of the lower prices of competing fuels in AEO2014.
This legislation establishes a minimum octane standard for gasoline and requires sources of the added octane value to reduce carbon emissions by at least 30% compared to baseline gasoline. Furthermore, the legislation limits the use of harmful aromatics in meeting this new higher octane standard, as well as in current-market gasoline.
The data revealed multiple trends that correlate with a decrease in overall fueleconomy and efficiency. It’s not likely that people are actually thinking about fueleconomy that way, that they can splurge on a less fuel efficient vehicle. So the effect of fueleconomy standards is reduced.
