| Abstract | This report provides a state-of-the-art summary of the means by which individual drivers can achieve more fuel-efficient vehicle operation. It identifies fuel-efficient driving behaviors, the means of influencing behavior, appropriate audiences for attempts to foster fuel-efficient driving behavior, the types of materials needed to communicate fuel-efficient operation, and delivery systems capable of handling the communication of information. The report also describes research carried out under the project described in Volumes II and III of this report. The authors conclude that: (1) drivers lack critical items of information concerning fuel-efficient vehicle operation, (2) efforts to encourage fuel efficiency have been generally unsuccessful and are probably unnecessary, (3) there is no good system for providing training in fuel-efficient vehicle operation to large numbers of drivers, and (4) a federally-coordinated effort is needed to assure the delivery of up-to-date information to drivers. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
