This procedure incorporates driving cycles that produce fuel consumption data relating to urban@ suburban and interstate driving patterns. The procedure in intended to be used to determine the relative fuel economy among vehicles and driving patterns under warmed-up conditions on a test track or on suitable roads. Purpose- This recommended practice provides uniform testing procedures for measuring on-the-road fuel economy of light-duty vehicles (motor vehicles designed primarily for transportation of persons and having a capacity of 12 persons or less@ or for transportation of property and rated at 6000 Ib (2700 kg) or less).
