(a)(1) The provisions of this section do not apply to passenger automobiles exempted from Gas Guzzler Tax assessments by the Energy Tax Act of 1978 and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Internal Revenue Service. However, the manufacturer of an exempted passenger automobile may, in his discretion, label such vehicles in accordance with the provisions of this section.

(2) Vehicles produced by a manufacturer that has been granted an alternate tax rate schedule by the Secretary of the Treasury shall be labeled with the applicable tax determined under any such alternate tax schedule.

(3) For 1980 and later model year passenger automobiles, the combined general label model type fuel economy

value used for Gas Guzzler Tax assessments shall be calculated in accordance with the following equation, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mpg:

FEadj = Fe[((0.55×ag×c) + (0.45×c) + (0.5556×ag)+0.4487) / ((0.55×ag)+0.45)] + IWg

Appendix II to Part 600—Sample Fuel Economy Calculations
top
(a) This sample fuel economy calculation is applicable to 1978 through 1987 model year automobiles.

(1) Assume that a gasoline-fueled vehicle was tested by the Federal Emission Test Procedure and the following results were calculated:

HC=.139 grams/mile

CO=1.59 grams/mile

CO2=317 grams/mile

According to the procedure in §600.113–78, the city fuel economy or MPGc, for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the HC, CO, and CO2 grams/mile values into the following equation.


MPGc=27.7

(2) Assume that the same vehicle was tested by the Federal Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure and calculation similar to that shown in paragraph (a) by this appendix resulted in a highway fuel economy or MPGh of 36.9. According to the procedure in §600.113, the combined fuel economy (called MPGc/h) for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the city and highway fuel economy values into the following equation:


(b) This sample fuel economy calculation is applicable to 1988 and later model year automobiles.

(1) Assume that a gasoline-fueled vehicle was tested by the Federal Emission Test Procedure and the following results were calculated:

HC=.139 grams/mile

CO=1.59 grams/mile

CO2=317 grams/mile

(2) Assume that the test fuel used for this test had the following properties:

SG=0.745

CWF=0.868

NHV=18,478 Btu/lb.

(3) According to the procedure in §600.113–88, the city fuel economy or MPGc, for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the HC, CO, and CO2 gram/mile values and the SG, CWF, and NHV values into the following equation:

MPGc = (5174 × 10 4 × CWF × SG) / [((CWF × HC) + (0.429 × CO + (0.273 × CO2)) ((0.6 × SG × NHV) + 5471)]

MPGc = (5174× 10 4 × 0.868×0.745) / [(0.868 × .139 + 0.429 × 1.59 + 0.273 × 317)(0.6 × 0.745 × 18478 + 5471)]

MPGc=27.9

(4) Assume that the same vehicle was tested by the Federal Highway Fuel Economy Test Procedure and a calculation similar to that shown in (b)(3) resulted in a highway fuel economy of MPGh of 36.9. According to the procedure in §600.113, the combined fuel economy (called MPGc/h) for the vehicle may be calculated by substituting the city and highway fuel economy values into the following equation:

Appendix III to Part 600—Sample Fuel Economy Label Calculation (1977 Model Year)
top
Suppose that a manufacturer called Mizer Motors has a product line composed of eight car lines. Of these eight, four are available with the 300 CID, 2 barrel, non-catalyst, 49-state engine. These four car lines are:

Ajax

Boredom III

Dodo

Castor (Station Wagon)

A car line is defined in subpart A as a group of vehicles within a make or division which has a degree of commonality in construction. Car line does not consider any level of decor or opulence and is not generally distinguished by such characteristics as roofline, number of doors, seats, or windows. Station wagons and light duty trucks are, however, identified separately from the remainder of each car line. In other words, a Castor station wagon would be considered a different car line than the normal Castor car line made up of sedans, coupes, etc.

The engine considered here is defined as a basic engine in subpart A of this part. A basic engine is a unique combination of fuel system, number of cylinders, catalyst usage, and engine displacement.

A model type is a unique combination of car line, basic engine, and transmission class. Thus Ajax is a car line but Ajax 300–2V noncatalyst, 49-state, manual transmission is a model type whereas Ajax 300–2V non-catalyst, 49-state, automatic transmission is a different model type.

The following calculations provide an example of the procedures described in subpart C of this part for the calculation of vehicle configuration and model type fuel economy values. In order to simplify the presentation, only city fuel economy values are included. The procedure is identical for highway and combined fuel economy values.

Step I. Input data as supplied by the manufacturer or as determined from testing conducted by the Administrator.

Manufacturer—Mizer Motors.

Basic Engine: (300–2 barrel, 8–cylinder, non-catalyst, 49 state).

\1\ The vehicle configuration fuel economy values, rounded to the nearest mile per gallon, are the fuel economy values that would be used on specific
labels for that vehicle configuration.


Step II. Group vehicle fuel economy and sales data according to base level combinations within this basic engine.

Base level:

F...................................... ......do................... 5,000 10.6006 40,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Step III. Determine base level fuel economy values.

A. For all the base levels except the base level which includes 4,000 pound, manual transmission data, the base level fuel economy is as noted in Step II since only one vehicle configuration was tested within each of these base levels.



------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles per
gallon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3,500 lb/manual transmission................................ 16.1001
3,500 lb/automatic transmission............................. 15.9020
4,000 lb/automatic transmission............................. 13.8138
4,500 lb/automatic transmission............................. 13.2203
5,000 lb/automatic transmission............................. 10.6006
------------------------------------------------------------------------


B. Since data from more than one vehicle configuration are included in the 4,000-pound, manual transmission base level, this fuel economy is harmonically averaged in proportion to the percentage of total sales of all vehicle configurations tested within that base level represented by each vehicle configuration tested within that base level.


Step IV. For each model type offered by the manufacturer with that basic engine, determine the sales fraction represented by each inertia weight/transmission class combination and the corresponding fuel economy.
