Seite 5 - Fourth, even a 20 percent electrification of the auto fleet — a market penetration that must be considered improbable within the next several decades^ — is unlikely to save more than about 0.2 MMB/D. Electric cars are most likely to replace small, low-powered — and thus fuel-efficient — conventional automobiles, minimizing potential oil savings. Plausible projections of domestic oil production — expected by OTA to drop from 10.2 MMBD in 1980 to 7 MMBD or lower by 2000 — suggest that oil...

A third option for reducing imports— increased efficiency and fuel switching in stationary (nontransportation) oil uses— is examined briefly to allow an assessment of potential future levels of oil imports. Finally, electric-powered automobiles are examined. Import Reductions In the judgment of the Office of Technology Assessment, increased automobile fuel efficiency, synthetic fuels production, and reduced stationary (nontransportation) use of oil...
