Abstract: Abstract The United States Congress in Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 imposed upon the US automobile industry a set of time-phased miles per gallon (mpg) standards. Failure to attain these standards as an average over all automobile sales in a given year subjects the offending company to graduated civil penalties per car manufactured in that year. The fleet-average mpg standards for each year until 1985 are listed in Table 5.1.1
