Since CAFE standards were established 25 years ago, there have been significant changes in motor vehicle technology, globalization of the industry, the mix and characteristics of vehicle sales, production capacity, and other factors. This volume evaluates the implications of these changes as well as changes anticipated in the next few years, on the need for CAFE, as well as the stringency and/or structure of the CAFE program in future years.

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates that U.S. transportation fuel producers blend specific volumes of ethanol and other biofuels with fossil fuels to spur U.S. biofuel production and to minimize foreign oil imports. Ethanol is more corrosive to auto engines than gasoline, and although vehicles manufactured since 2001 are approved to use up to a 15% ethanol blend (E15) (Naylor & Falcon, 2011), E10 is much more widely available. Ethanol producers therefore face a so-called blend wall at 10 percent—a maximum amount of ethanol that is usable domestically based on the demand for gasoline. Meanwhile, gasoline demand in the U.S. has declined since 2008, when high gas prices and the onset of the recession abruptly led Americans to drive less and to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since updated Federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards to double fuel efficiency in cars and light duty trucks by 2025 to 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) on average, further diminishing gasoline demand. Until now, RFS and CAFE have mostly been examined separately or compared to hypothetical carbon cap and trade policies. Analyzing how the RFS and CAFE interact is important because unlike cap and trade, these two policies exist in the U.S. already, and they affect each other in ways unanticipated when each was created. This research uses a comparative statics model to examine the interactions between RFS and CAFE, first in 2013, then in 2025, when updated CAFE standards have been fully implemented and average gas mileage for model year 2025 is 54.5 mpg. This analysis finds that if both policies are implemented simultaneously in 2025, the outcome is incompatible with even an E15 blend wall. While motor fuel consumers’ gains are 50 percent of their 2013 expenditures, gasoline producers lose surplus equivalent to 20 percent of their 2013 receipts.

Presents an overview of the economics literature on the effect of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards on the new vehicle market. Since 1978, CAFE has imposed fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. market. This paper reviews the history of the standards, followed by a discussion of the major upcoming changes in implementation and stringency. It describes strategies that firms can use to meet the standards and reviews the CAFE literature as it applies to the new vehicle market. The paper concludes by highlighting areas for future research in light of the upcoming changes to CAFE. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.

The rise in crude oil and gasoline prices since the winter of 2006 has renewed the focus on U.S. fuel consumption in the transportation sector. Wider concerns over greenhouse gas emissions and climate change have contributed to interest in reducing fossil fuel consumption and improving the efficiency of the U.S. transportation sector. Possible changes to the federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards are one policy option to address the issue. CAFE standards are fleetwide fuel economy averages that manufacturers must meet each model year. Currently, separate CAFE standards are established for passenger cars and light trucks, which include sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, and pickup trucks. Several bills have been introduced in the 110th Congress to modify the CAFE program. Provisions vary from bill to bill but include increasing the CAFE standards for all vehicles; changing fuel economy testing procedures to make them more accurate, and probably more conservative, measurements of consumer-experienced on-road fuel economy; and granting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) broader authority to implement the CAFE program. This report provides a side-by-side comparison of several bills in the 110th Congress addressing passenger vehicle fuel economy in general and the CAFE program specifically. The report covers CAFE-related Senate and House bills. The bills are compared on various policy options including, but not limited to, the types of provisions identified above. The report also compares provisions in bills that would establish greenhouse gas emissions standards for passenger cars outside of the CAFE structure. Such emissions standards would likely also have the effect of increasing fuel economy. One issue in the CAFE debate over the years has been whether Congress should set CAFE standards or delegate that authority exclusively to NHTSA. For passenger cars, the original EPCA legislation established specific targets for model year (MY) 1978 and MY1985, and required that the Secretary of Transportation set standards for the interim years. Some of the current proposals would also set specific targets in the future; others would require annual improvements in CAFE by some specified percentage. In some instances, both approaches are used. Those proposals would establish a mandated CAFE by a certain date and require subsequent annual percentage increases. Some bills would also require NHTSA to set the maximum feasible interim standards.

The light-duty vehicle fleet is expected to undergo substantial technological changes over the next several decades. New powertrain designs, alternative fuels, advanced materials and significant changes to the vehicle body are being driven by increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. By the end of the next decade, cars and light-duty trucks will be more fuel efficient, weigh less, emit less air pollutants, have more safety features, and will be more expensive to purchase relative to current vehicles. Though the gasoline-powered spark ignition engine will continue to be the dominant powertrain configuration even through 2030, such vehicles will be equipped with advanced technologies, materials, electronics and controls, and aerodynamics. And by 2030, the deployment of alternative methods to propel and fuel vehicles and alternative modes of transportation, including autonomous vehicles, will be well underway. What are these new technologies - how will they work, and will some technologies be more effective than others? Written to inform The United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards, this new report from the National Research Council is a technical evaluation of costs, benefits, and implementation issues of fuel reduction technologies for next-generation light-duty vehicles. Cost, Effectiveness, and Deployment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Light-Duty Vehicles estimates the cost, potential efficiency improvements, and barriers to commercial deployment of technologies that might be employed from 2020 to 2030. This report describes these promising technologies and makes recommendations for their inclusion on the list of technologies applicable for the 2017-2025 CAFE standards.

Overall fuel economy trends have prompted some energy conservationists and environmentalists to call for increasing the Corp. Avg. Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Those supporting an increase in the standards often cite energy security and environmental benefits that would result from improved fuel economy. Those opposed to raising the standards often cite decreased auto safety, which they contend could result from producing smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. This report has reviewed studies and interviewed experts to identify: the impact of increasing CAFE standards on oil consumption, the environ., and auto safety in the U.S.; and other issues that affect the CAFE.
