To require accurate fuel economy testing procedures.

Colorado, Mr. LANTOS, Ms. DEGETTE, Mr. MORAN of Virginia, and Mr. 
VAN HOLLEN) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce 
A BILL 
To require accurate fuel economy testing procedures. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Fuel Efficiency Truth 
in Advertising Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) CURRENT METHOD INACCURATE.—The En-
vironmental Protection Agency’s current method for
estimating fuel economy is flawed and does not take 
into account the changes in driving conditions that 
have taken place over the past 30 years. As a result, 
the Environmental Protection Agency’s tests over-
estimate fuel economy by up to 30 percent, and En-
vironmental Protection Agency window sticker infor-
mation overestimates fuel economy by 10 percent or 
more. 
(2) UNDERESTIMATING
HIGHWAY
SPEEDS.— 
The Environmental Protection Agency highway cycle 
assumes an average speed of 48 mph and a top 
speed of 60 mph. Many State highway speed limits 
are set at or above 65 mph. Government data indi-
cates that fuel economy can drop by 17 percent for 
modern vehicles that drive at 70 mph instead of 55 
mph. Even at 65 mph, fuel economy can drop by 
nearly 10 percent compared to driving at 55 mph. 
(3) ASSUMING
VERY
GENTLE
ACCELERATION 
AND BRAKING.—The maximum acceleration rate in 
the Environmental Protection Agency test cycles is 
3.3 mph per second, about the same as going from 
zero to 60 mph in about 18 seconds. The average 
new car or truck can accelerate nearly twice as fast. 
While most consumers don’t use all the power in 
their vehicle, the Environmental Protection Agency
data shows that people accelerate as fast as 15 mph 
per second, nearly 5 times the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency tests. In 1996 the Environmental 
Protection Agency established a new driving cycle 
(US06) that includes tougher acceleration and decel-
eration and higher speeds, but this cycle is not used 
for fuel economy purposes. 
(4) NEGLECTING THE WIDE RANGE OF OUT-
DOOR TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED IN THE REAL 
WORLD.—The Environmental Protection Agency 
tests are performed between 68 and 86 degrees 
Fahrenheit. Most States frequently experience 
weather conditions outside this range and fuel econ-
omy can be significantly affected as a result. 
(5) FAILING
TO
REFLECT
THE
USE
OF
AIR 
CONDITIONING.—Fuel economy tests are run with 
the air conditioning off, while over 99 percent of all 
cars and trucks come with air conditioning. In 1996 
the Environmental Protection Agency established a 
new driving cycle (SC03) that included air condi-
tioning, but this cycle is not used for fuel economy 
purposes. 
(6) OVERESTIMATING
TRIP
LENGTHS.—The 
Environmental Protection Act city test cycle is 7.5 
miles long. The Environmental Protection Agency’s

(12 U.S.C. 1703(f)) is amended—

(2) by adding at the end the following new para-
graph:

MANUFACTURED
HOME
LOANS.—Notwith-
standing paragraph (1), in the case of a loan, advance of 
credit, or purchase in connection with a manufactured 
home or a lot on which to place such a home (or both), 
the premium charge for the insurance granted under this 
section shall be paid by the borrower under the loan or ad-
vance of credit, as follows: 
‘‘(A) At the time of the making of the loan, ad-
vance of credit, or purchase, a single premium pay-
ment in an amount not to exceed 2.25 percent of the 
amount of the original insured principal obligation. 
‘‘(B) In addition to the premium under subpara-
graph (A), annual premium payments during the 
term of the loan, advance, or obligation purchased in 
an amount not exceeding 1.0 percent of the remaining 
insured principal balance (excluding the portion of 
the remaining balance attributable to the premium 
collected under subparagraph (A) and without taking 
into account delinquent payments or prepayments).
House Calendar No. 72
109TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION 
H. CON. RES. 216
[Report No. 109–195] 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that, as Con-
gress observes the 40th anniversary of the Voting 
Rights Act of 1965 and encourages all Americans 
to do the same, it will advance the legacy of the 
Voting Rights Act of 1965 by ensuring the con-
tinued effectiveness of the Act to protect the vot-
ing rights of all Americans. 
JULY 27, 2005
Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
printed
own data indicate that average trip lengths may be 
only 5 miles long, with typical trips as short as 2.5 
miles. Shorter trips often mean lower fuel economy 
because the engine does not have time to warm up 
and operate efficiently. 
(7) FUEL CONSUMPTION.—Fuels used for en-
gine certification tests are artificial in that they are 
highly refined, and not equivalent to the fuel con-
sumed during the life of a vehicle. Use of reference 
diesel and gasoline fuels while desirable from the 
standpoint of engineering design, optimization, and 
test repeatability, understate emissions and overstate 
fuel economy experienced by a vehicle in actual use. 
Current technology that improves commercially 
available fuel at or near the point of use is excluded 
from consideration by engine manufacturers as origi-
nal or optional equipment due to lack of need to rep-
resent engine performance on anything other than 
reference fuels. While allowing use of reference fuels 
for certification purposes, the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency should consider requiring manufacturers 
to post fuel economy realized on commercially avail-
able fuel.
