KEY: CO = carbon monoxide; HC = hydrocarbon; NOx = nitrogen oxide; RFG = reformulated gasoline.
NOTES
As of July 1 of each year. Vehicle types are defined as follows: light-duty vehicles
(passenger cars up to 6,000 lb gross vehicle weight rating GVWR) ; light-duty trucks
(pickups and minivans up to 8,500 lb GVWR); heavy-duty vehicles (8,501 lb or more GVWR);
motorcycle (on-highway only). The data in this table are based on MOBILE6, and reflect
the introduction of RFG starting in 1995. Emissions factors are national averages based
on the following assumptions: ambient temperature 75 ºF, daily temperature range 60 -84 ºF,
average traffic speed 27.6 mph (representative of overall traffic in urban areas), standard
operating mode (cold-start, hot-start, stabilized), vehicle-miles traveled fractions and no
inspection/maintenance or antitampering programs.
Emissions estimates in this table assume 100% RFG.
