• Abstract:
  The effect of limited fuel availability on the demand for alternative fuels and ; vehicles is a critical factor in the transition to alternative fuels. Because ; petroleum fuels have been so dominant for so long, the relationship between fuel ; availability and fuel demand has received little attention. This paper briefly ; reviews previous studies, then presents new results from a survey of U.S. ; households. The new data address the: (1) choice of fuel for a fuel-flexible ; vehicle, and (2) choice of a dedicated alternative fuel engine for a vehicle. ; Fuel availability is described in terms of the percent of refueling stations ; offering the new fuel.
