Title: Progress With Cng And LNG Vehicles

Abstract: During the 12 months since this group last met, we have seen numerous developments in the gas-fueled vehicles. One of the first which many watched with interest was the coast-to-coast clean car race sponsored by M.I.T. and Caltech. Forty-seven cars running on nearly every type of fuel and exhaust emission system imaginable raced across the country for seven days. Thirteen cars powered by LPG and 6 by natural gas were among the 37 finishers. Using a scoring system that was just as complex as some of the cars entered, the judges threw up their hands and awarded first prize to a car with exotic muffiers running on unleaded gasoline and failing to meet even the 1975 emissions standards. While we learned much from an air pollution standpoint, air pollution emissions were not the only criteria used to measure race performance. It should be noted, for example, that the scoring system omitted the reactivity factor in measuring hydrocarbons. My own choice from reading the results would have been Worcester Techs LPG-powered car.
