The Auto Sector Forecasting (ASF) Model presented is designed to be a tool for describing the effects of alternative automobile fuel-economy policies. It produces the future gasoline consumption, vehicle miles of travel, new car sales, fleet size, and fleet composition which are projected to result from a given fuel-economy policy posture. These postures include the use of excise taxes and rebates applied to new-car fuel economy, imposition of sales-weighted fuel-economy standards by manufacturer, and manipulation of the price of gasoline through taxation or other measures. This document presents the mechanics of using this model. It is a user's guide, not a discussion of the model's motivation or statistical properties.
