“…These estimates are similar to those reported in the literature. For instance, Difiglio and Fulton (2000) concluded that the own-price elasticity of demand of gasoline is about -0.5, although Hughes et al (2008) suggested that demand for gasoline became more inelastic after 2000 for the light-vehicle fleet. Fouquet (2012) documented a gradual decline in own-price elasticity in the United Kingdom: While in the 19th century the average long-run own-price elasticity was around -1.5, it was -0.6 in 2010.…”

The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/World Bank and its affiliated organizations, or those of the Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent.

“…The industry notes that environmental performance is improved because cars and trucks use less gasoline. Unfortunately, vehicle efficiency is offset by increases in vehicle miles driven and additional vehicle technology that requires the use of more gasoline (Difiglio and Fulton, 2000). Moreover, some of the green technologies used to improve vehicle efficiency are still environmentally destructive.…”

“…Bio-oil is a promising option to replace conventional fossil fuels to reduce gasses emissions [18,19]. Nevertheless, all the mentioned fuels suffer from gasses emissions to a greater or lesser extent, which, despite contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, does not solve the problem in the long term [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Reduction of GHG Emissions: Air Quality Improvement in Urban Areas

This paper focuses on the impact that urban traffic has on the environment. The study characterizes the global effect of GHG emissions, including the ecologic evaluation and the characterization, normalization, and evaluation factor. The work makes a detailed survey of the different modes of driving and their influence on engine performance as one of the principal causes of gas emissions during the combustion process. The article analyzes six types of vehicles equipped with different engine configurations: diesel and gasoline, GLP and GNC, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric. Simulation of the driving mode under various operational conditions for every type of engine result in energy consumption, thus, in GHG emissions, carbon dioxide and monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and Sulphur dioxide. The study concludes that a reduction in vehicle speed, thus in the engine revolutions, has positive effects on engine combustion and gasses emissions, which is reduced by 27.5%. The study also concludes that the limitation in driving mode, avoiding sharp and sudden acceleration, may reduce up to 45% of GHG emissions. The changes applied in the driving mode improve the air quality in the urban environment, reducing the content of GHG from 39% to 61%.
