Introduction
• Approximately one half of the oil used in the U.S. is
imported
• Nearly $2 trillion was spent from 2004 to 2008 on oil
• New Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
passed with goal of 35 mpg on average by 2020
• Decided to conduct a study on how we can reach this
goal

Light-Duty Automotive Technology,
Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Fuel
Economy Trends: 1975 Through 2011
Limitations
Our Regressors Chosen
• Weight
• Engine displacement
• Horsepower
• Acceleration time
Other factors not considered
• Variable valve timing (5%)
• Cylinder deactivation (7.5%)
• Turbochargers and
superchargers (7.5%)
• Direct fuel injection (11-13%)
Initial Data
Viewed problems of possible multicollinearity and non-linear relationships
Multicollinearity
Variance Inflation
Factors are close to
or greater than 10
Condition Indices
greater than 15
Autocorrelation
Durbin-Watson statistic is very
close to 2
After “normalizing” data
Residual Plot
Power
transformation
Found best lambda
Maximized Log-
Likelihood and R-
squared
Applied the log function
to DISP and HP
Residual Plots
Residuals Before Transformation Residuals After Transformation
Multicollinearity

Interpreting the Models
Future Work
• Expanding the study with current data
 Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
 Add Variables
 Time Series
• Conducting an experiment
 Sample Size
 Expand Predictors
