Fuel Fact of the Week

Fact #1034:Short-Haul Shipments of Gasoline Transported Primarily by Truck and Pipeline While Long-Haul Shipments Transported Primarily by Rail and Water

The latest Freight Analysis Framework (FAF version 4) shows that modes used for the domestic movement of gasoline varies greatly by the shipment distance. For short-haul movements (less than 250 miles), gasoline is primarily shipped by truck and pipeline, but for long-haul movements (1,000 miles and over), rail and water are used most often, likely due to the economics of bulk shipments by those modes. Of total gasoline movement in 2015 (139 billion ton-miles) about 38% are short hauls.

While alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) fuel economy testing is largely similar to that of conventional fuels, the EPA makes some adjustments to account for different vehicle technology and fuel energy content. By tailoring AFV fuel economy testing and reporting, the EPA is able to provide apples-to-apples comparisons and allow consumers to make informed decisions.
