Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the potential reduction in automotive fuel consumption based on the use of innovative systems and improved components. Technological areas investigated were: spark ignited engines with and without turbocharging, electronic feedback controlled fuel injection with duel bed catalytic converters, stratified charge combustion, light weight diesels, lock-up torque converters, continuously variable ratio transmission, tires aerodynamic drag, vehicle weight, engine accessories and optional equipment. The study results indicated that the goal of 43% improvement in fuel economy (mph), or 30% reduction in fuel usage (gpm) of a 1973 model year compact and standard size vehicle could be attained on a mass produced scale by the early 1980s.
