Concern about the reduced availability and the increased cost of
petroleum fuels prompted great efforts in recent years to reduce
the fuel consumption of auto mobiles. The ongoing efforts to reduce
fuel consumption have addressed many relevant factors, including
increased engine performance, reduced friction, use of lightweight
materials, and reduced aerodynamic drag. The results of the
investigations assessing the various factors affecting fuel economy
have been published in journals, conference proceedings, and in
company and government reports. This proliferation of technical
information makes it difficult for workers to keep abreast of aU
developments. The material presented in this book brings together
in a single volume much of the relevant materials, summarizes many
of the state-of-the-art theories and data, and provides extensive
lists of references. Thus, it is hoped that this book will be a
useful reference for specialists and practicing engineers
interested in the fuel economy of automobiles. J. C. HILLIARD o. S.
