Applied Energy, 1980, vol. 7, issue 4, 243-261

Abstract: This paper describes an analysis of the direct economic benefits and costs of regulating automobile gas mileage. Three issues are considered: (i) What are the marginal direct benefits and costs of alternatives to the existing 1980-1985 schedules for achieving improved gas mileage? (ii) How are the direct benefits of regulating automobile gas mileage distributed? (iii) What are the marginal direct benefits and costs of regulatory increases in automobile gas mileage beyond the 27·5 miles per gallon standard established for 1985?
