• Abstract:
  The primary objective of the light-duty vehicle operator survey is to collect performance and driveability data on alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and comparable gasoline vehicles. The data are collected through telephone surveys, which are conducted by Dwights Energydata for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Four survey rounds are planned this year each will be conducted during a different season to capture any seasonal differences. This summarizes the second survey, which was conducted during the spring. Dwights Energydata supplied the data to NREL, where the information was analyzed. Data were collected on compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, flexible-fuel ethanol (E85) vehicles, and flexible-fuel methanol (M85) vehicles, along with gasoline control vehicles from the original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
