The consumer response to changing gasoline prices has long interested economists and policymakers, for it has important implications for the effects of gasoline taxation and vehicle energy efficiency policies. This study examines both the elasticity of driving with respect to changing gasoline prices and heterogeneity in this elasticity by geography, the fuel economy of the vehicle, and the age...

The increasing industrialization and motorization of the world has led to a step rise for the demand of petroleum-based fuels. Petroleum-based fuels are obtained from limited reserves. These finite reserves are highly concentrated in certain regions of the world. Therefore, those countries not having these resources are facing energy/foreign exchange crisis, mainly due to the import of crude pe...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate whether variable ignition timing can be effect on exhaust emission and engine performance of a spark ignition engine. The study describes some results of research in the area of spark ignition engine and is assessed by studying its performance and emission characteristics relative to that of conventional ignition engine using gasoline and methano...

OBJECTIVE The price of gasoline has been found to be negatively associated with traffic crashes in a limited number of studies. However, most of the studies have focused either on fatal crashes only or on all crashes but measured over a very short time period. In this study, we examine gasoline price effects on all traffic crashes by demographic groups in the state of Alabama from 1999 to 2009....

We would like to alert toxicologists to the importance of testing for gasoline, and for volatile hydrocarbons in general, in deaths involving inhalation of exhaust fumes occurring in closed spaces with running motors or machinery. We present here a case of suicidal inhalation of motorbike exhaust, a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and gasoline vapor, by a 38-year-old female. She was found in he...

Our model suggests that spot diesel should rise 25 cents a gallon over the next six months and 41 cents a gallon over the next 18 months. americans who drive cars are no doubt aware of the drastic rise and fall in gasoline prices over the past few years. What they may not have noticed is the unusual movement in the price of diesel, a fuel primarily used in trucks, buses, railroad engines, farm ...

Recent evidence suggests NH 3 emissions from road vehicles play an important role in the formation of fine particulate matter, especially urban areas. However, there is little data available for emitted under real driving conditions, part due to its lack regulation vehicle emission legislation. In this study, we use 210,000 remote sensing measurements evaluate complex mix factors affecting gaso...

The authors presented the contribution of gasoline vehicle exhaust to SOA formation in urban atmosphere. The manuscript indicated the importance of the vehicular gasoline compositions and clariïňĄed the principal problem of vehicular emissions for haze pollution in China. However, in your literature review, the authors missed some new ïňĄndings. E. g. Tang et al. (2015) illustrated the differen...

This paper uses a unique data set of monthly new vehicle sales by detailed model from 19702007, and implements a new identification strategy to estimate the effect of gasoline prices on new vehicle demand. We control for unobserved vehicle and consumer characteristics by using within model-year changes in gasoline prices and vehicle sales. We find a significant demand response, as nearly half o...
