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.
