Abstract
Further analyses of the 1978 in-use fuel economy survey are presented. Effects of usage on 1978 model year cars are determined. The in-use fuel economies are then adjusted to standardize for usage. The adjusted fuel economies have lower variability and yield better relationships with metro-highway fuel economy ratings.
