National Interim Energy-Consumption Survey. Part IV. Transportation Panel. Including Appendices A Through C

摘要

The activities of the transportation panel, a monthly survey in which a national sample of households are asked to keep a record of all fuel purchased for vehicles used by the household, are summarized. The fuels of interest are gasoline, diesel fuel, and gasohol. Eligible vehicles include automobiles, station wagons, passenger and cargo vans, motor homes, pickups and other small trucks, and jeeps. A pretest was conducted April and May 1979 to determine the extent to which households respondents were willing to keep records of their gasoline purchases and to provide guidance on the best ways to request these data. Activities of this period are described. The activities of the transportation panel from June to October 1979, are summarized. Additional information on the transportation panel presented in Appendices A, B, and C is: transportation panel design (issues and comments); data collection materials; data files, coding instructions, and forms.
