Driving pattern defined by 8.3.4 which is similar to driving conditions in the central business district of a large city. 3.1.2 Suburban Cycle
Driving pattern defined by 8.3.5 which is similar to driving conditions in suburban areas of a large city. 3.1.3 Interstate Cycle
Driving patterns defined by 8.3.6 and 8.3.7 which are similar to driving conditions on expressways. 3.2 Test Vehicle
Passenger car or light truck prepared for test according to Section 7. 3.3 Test Vehicle Weight
Unloaded vehicle weight plus 136 kg (300 lb). 3.3.1 Unloaded Vehicle Weight (Curb Weight)
The weight of the vehicle as built to production parts list with maximum capacity of all fluids necessary for operation of the vehicle. 3.3.2 Driver and Passenger or Ballast Weight
136 kg (300 lb) includes occupants, instrumentation, and ballast, if necessary. NOTE: This weight will be distributed to properly simulate passenger locations and vehicle attitude (one passenger in drivers position and one passenger or equivalent weight in front seat passenger position). 3.3.3 Chassis Dynamometer Inertia Weight and Horsepower Settings
These settings should be established and set in accordance with SAE J1263 or SAE J2263 and SAE J2264. 3.4 Observed Economy
Observed economy is the fuel economy measured during a driving cycle. It is determined by dividing the actual kilometers (miles) driven on the cycle by the number of liters (gallons) consumed. Economy should be expressed as kilometers per liter (miles per gallon).
SAE
3.5 Corrected Economy
-3-
Corrected economy is the observed economy multiplied by the correction factors listed in Section 10. The corrected fuel economy should be expressed as kilometers per liter (miles per gallon).2 3.6 Correction Factors
Factors which are used to adjust data to the standard ambient condition of 15.6 C (60 F) and 98.2 kPa (29.0 in Hg) and reference fuel properties. 3.7 Average Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy is the total distance driven divided by the total volume of fuel consumed in a series of replicate tests. When the distance driven in each of the tests is identical, as may be assumed for this procedure, the average fuel economy is determined by taking the harmonic average of the individual economies. See Equation 1.
Average Fuel Economy = n 1/ MPG1 + 1/ MPG2 + + 1/ MPGn
(Eq. 1)
3.8
These guidelines are intended to provide an estimate of repeatability of test data for replicate tests and are based on a standard deviation equal to 1.9% of the mean. 3.8.1 Estimate of the 95th Percentile Range for Replicate Tests
The 95th percentile range (R) equals 0.019Q times the average fuel economy, where Q equals the critical value obtained from a table for the Studentized3 range and the average fuel economy for n tests. Selected value for 0.019Q are as shown in Table 1: TABLE 1 - SELECTED VALUES FOR 0.019Q n 2 3 4 5 10 0.019Q 0.053 0.063 0.069 0.073 0.085
a. Example 1 (SI units)If a vehicle obtains 6.20 km/L and 6.60 km/L on two tests on the same cycle, the average fuel economy would be 6.39 km/L and the 95th percentile range would be as shown in Equation 2:
R = 0.053 6.39 = 0.34 km / L
(Eq. 2)
The difference between the two tests is 0.4 km/L which is greater than the difference that would be expected for 95% of the cases in which two tests were conducted. Consequently, additional tests should be conducted to provide more confidence in the average fuel economy.
The corrected economy and average fuel economy may be expressed in terms of fuel consumption, for example, L/100 km, if the appropriate conversions are made (L/100 km = 235.265/mpg). When average fuel economy is expressed as consumption, the average fuel consumption is the arithmetic average of the individual consumptions. 3 D. B. Owen, Handbook of Statistical Tables, Reading, MA: Addison Wesley Publishing Co., Inc., 1962, pp. 144-148.

b. Example 2 (U.S. units)If a vehicle obtains 14.5 mile/gal and 15.5 mile/gal on two tests on the same cycle, the average fuel economy would be 14.98 mile/gal and the 95th percentile range would be as shown in Equation 3:
R = 0.053 14.98 = 0.79 mile / gal
(Eq. 3)
The difference between the two tests is 1.0 mile/gal which is greater than the difference that would be expected for 95% of the cases in which two tests were conducted. Consequently, additional tests should be conducted to provide more confidence in the average fuel economy. 3.8.2 Estimate of the Average Fuel Economy at a 90% Confidence Interval(See Equation 4.)
0.031 Average Average at 90% Average = Fuel Economy Confidence Interval Fuel Economy n
(Eq. 4)
a. Example 1 (SI units)If a vehicle obtained 6.29 km/L and 6.46 km/L on two tests on the same cycle, the average fuel economy would be 6.37 km/L and the 90% confidence interval would be as shown in Equation 5:
0.031 6.37 = 6.37 0.14 km / L 6.37 2
(Eq. 5)
b. Example 2 (U.S. units)If a vehicle obtained 14.8 mile/gal and 15.2 mile/gal on two tests on the same cycle, the average fuel economy would be 15.0 and the 90% confidence interval would be as shown in Equation 6:
(Eq. 6)
The fuel measurement device must be compatible with the vehicle fuel system and should alter the fuel temperature and pressure as little as practical. The fuel measurement system must be accurate to within 0.5% of the fuel used during a driving cycle. 4.2 Speed
The speed indicating device shall indicate vehicle speed in kilometers per hour (miles per hour) and be accurate within 1 km/h (0.5 mph). 4.3 Acceleration
The acceleration indicating device must be capable of indicating both positive and negative acceleration. It shall indicate acceleration/deceleration in m/s2 (ft/s2) and be accurate within 0.2 m/s2 (0.5 ft/s2). (Refer to 6.5 for Chassis Dynamometer Testing.) 4.4 Time
The time measuring instrument must be capable of measuring the time interval to 0.1 s and be accurate within 0.1 s in 1 min.
SAE
4.5 Temperature
-5-
The temperature indicating devices must be capable of measuring to the nearest 1 C or 2 F. Accuracy must be within 1 C or 2 F. The sensing element shall be shielded from radiant heat sources. 4.6 Absolute Barometric Pressure
An aneroid or mercury barometer should be used. This device should be accurate within 0.3 kPa or 0.1 in Hg. 4.7 Wind
Wind speed should be measured with a device that provides an indication of wind speed that is accurate within 3 km/h (2 mph). Wind direction should also be indicated. 4.8 Distance
A distance indicating device is required if the tests are not conducted on a premarked course. This device must be capable of indicating distance to within 5 m (15 ft) and must be capable of accuracy within 6 m in 1 km (30 ft in 1 mile). 4.9 Vehicle Weight
Vehicle weight should be measured with a device that is accurate within 0.5% with minimum resolution of 5 kg (10 lb). 4.10 Dynamometer Inertia Weight The dynamometer inertia weight is established reflecting the inertia of the nonrotating tires and the vehicle test weight. The inertia weight should be set to the nearest flywheel increment for mechanical inertia dynamometers or within 10 lb for electrical inertia dynamometers. 5. TEST MATERIAL 5.1 Test Vehicle
The test vehicle shall be completely defined on the Test Vehicle Specifications and Preparation Form. (The test vehicle will normally be representative of a production built vehicleany exceptions must be properly noted.) 5.2 Test Fuel
Normally, service station fuel will be satisfactory for test purposes, provided that it is consistent with the manufacturers recommendations for the vehicle and with the ASTM D 4814 standards. Specific gravity or API gravity for both gasoline and diesels shall be recorded. Also gasoline octane rating
R+M 2
shall be recorded and other properties such as distillation and Reid vapor pressure
Lubricants used shall conform to the manufacturers recommendation for the predominant weather condition in which the vehicle is being tested. 6. TEST CONDITIONS 6.1 Ambient Temperature
Tests should be conducted at ambient temperatures between -1 C (30 F) and 32 C (90 F).
SAE
6.2 Wind Velocity
-6-
Urban cycle tests must not be conducted when average wind speed exceeds 24 km/h (15 mph) or when gusts exceed 32 km/h (20 mph). For the Suburban and Interstate Cycle tests, these limits should be reduced to 16 km/h (10 mph) average and 24 km/h (15 mph) gusts. 6.3 Road Conditions
Roads must be dry, clean, smooth, and not exceed 1.0% grade. If operating on a closed track, the start and stop points should be selected such that the schedule elevation difference is 3 m (10 ft) or less. 6.4 6.5 It is recommended that roadside markers be used to indicate the points at which speed changes are to be made as indicated in 8.3. A drivers aid is recommended for dynamometer operations reflecting the test cycles described in 8.3.
The vehicle should have accumulated a minimum of 3200 km (2000 miles) of operation prior to test. At least 1600 km (1000 miles) must have been driven at cycling speeds between 64 km/h (40 mph) and maximum legal highway speeds. If a closed track is available for break-in, the maximum speed should not exceed 160 km/h (100 mph). Unless the testing is specifically evaluating lubricant effects of fuel economy, care should be taken to ensure that lubricant changes or additions do not take place over the duration of the test, and that engine oil has a minimum of 3200 km (2000 miles) use prior to testing. Chassis dynamometer break-in is acceptable. All of the tires must have operated on a road or track at least 160 km (100 miles) prior to the test. Tires must have at least 75% of the tread remaining and tread must be in good condition. For dynamometer testing, the vehicle should have experienced at least 800 km (500 miles) of cyclic break-in for the tires and brakes. 7.2 Inspection Checks are
The vehicle must be inspected and adjusted where necessary to meet manufacturers specifications. specified on the Test Vehicle Specifications and Preparation Form (Figure 1). 7.3 Instrumentation
The fuel measuring device and other instrumentation, as necessary, must be installed in a manner not to hinder the vehicle operation or operating characteristics. 7.4 Test Weight
The vehicle weight must be adjusted to provide the test weight indicated in 3.3 (this test weight includes instrumentation and operator). 7.5 Tire Pressure
The cold tire pressure should be the minimum recommended by the manufacturer for the vehicle test weight and should be set before vehicle operation immediately prior to the vehicle warm-up at the beginning of the test. 8. TEST PROCEDURE 8.1 Warm-Up
The vehicle must be driven a minimum of 32 km (20 miles) at 90 km/h (55 mph) or maximum legal highway speed to stabilize engine and driveline operating temperatures immediately before running the first driving cycle.

The battery should be fully charged to minimize alternator loading. Vehicle windows must remain closed while fuel consumption is being measured during the Suburban and Interstate Cycles. Driving Schedules General Driving Instructions Vehicles incapable of attaining acceleration rates specified by the driving schedules will be driven at maximum acceleration until specified schedule speed is reached. Vehicles with automatic transmissions should be driven with the transmission in a range that ensures all forward gears can be automatically engaged. If transmission hunting is encountered at a specified acceleration, the acceleration should be increased to maintain the transmission in the lower gear and this departure from the schedule noted on the data form.
SAE
8.3.1.3

Vehicles equipped with manual transmissions will be operated in the following manner: Idles will be made in gear, clutch disengaged. Decelerations will be made in gear, and the clutch will be disengaged at 24 km/h (15 mph) on a stop. All cruise operation should be in the highest gear that will prevent engine lugging. Downshifts will be permitted to obtain specified acceleration rates after a deceleration or to obtain a smooth engine operation at a slow speed. The manual transmission shift speeds in Table 2 are guidelines only and may be modified up or down as necessary to ensure that the specified acceleration rates are attained and to avoid engine lugging or overspeed. Departure from shift speeds specified in Table 2 should be noted on the data form (see Figure 2). Manufacturers recommended shift speed/shift lights may be used providing their use is noted on the data form. Vehicles with truck-type manual transmissions containing a creeper gear will not use the creeper gear during the driving cycle. Vehicles with manual transmissions will be shifted during accelerations at the specified speeds (mile/h) shown in Table 2: TABLE 2 - MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT SPEEDS Number of Forward Gears 3 Number of Forward Gears 4 Number of Forward Gears 5 or 6

Note any deviations from this schedule on the data form (see Figure 2). 8.3.1.6 Shift into the highest possible gear whenever a specified cruise speed is reached. For example, the 32 km/h (20 mph) cruise after accelerating at the 0.80, 1.13, and 1.29 km (0.5, 0.7, and 0.8 mile) markers in the urban cycle would be conducted in the highest gear that will prevent engine lugging. Vehicles with overdrive transmissions where the overdrive unit engages automatically are to be driven with the actuator switch in a position which ensures engagement when conditions for operation are reached. On vehicles where overdrive is engaged manually (such as designated overdrive gear), upshift to overdrive at the manufacturers recommended speed for smooth operation. Where specified accelerations cannot be maintained in overdrive, make the complete acceleration in the conventional gear and engage overdrive upon reaching the specified speed. On vehicles with automatic transmission, brakes should be applied to maintain the schedule speed if the engine idle results in vehicle speed above that specified. For manual transmission vehicles, the transmission should be downshifted.

FIGURE 2 - DATA FORM - FUEL ECONOMY TEST - LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLES 8.3.2 8.3.2.1 General Cycle Instructions The Urban Cycle will normally be run on a 3.2 km (2 mile) straightaway. The Suburban and Interstate Cycle may be run on either a closed track or on a straightaway. For tests on a straightaway less than 3.2 km (2 mile) long, turn-arounds may be made at normal stop intervals. A test on a straightaway shall consist of successive cycles run in opposite directions to minimize wind and grade effects. A test on a closed track shall consist of one cycle.
SAE

Effort should be made to perform the Interstate Schedule acceleration and decelerations as specified. The Urban and Suburban acceleration and decelerations should be maintained within 0.3 m/s2 (1 ft/s2) of that specified. Vehicle speeds should be maintained within 1.6 km/h (1 mph). Driving cycle maneuvers are initiated at the points indicated, except for the stop at the end of the Urban Cycle, which is to be completed by the point indicated. Fuel temperature will be recorded on the data form (see Figure 2) during all idle periods at or at the beginning and end of the cycle on the Interstate Schedules. Record weather data for each test cycle. Ambient conditions should be such that repeatability may be attained in as few cycles as possible. Fuel consumed for each schedule, as indicated by a fuel meter, should be the average of at least two consecutive tests that repeat within 2%. If the measured fuel readings are not within 2%, additional tests are required until this criterion is met before calculating the fuel economy. Elapsed time should repeat within 1%. The driving cycles are to be conducted on warmed-up vehicles (refer to initial warm-up procedure in 8.1). General Cycle Summary

10.3 Fuel Economy Correction (Diesel) NOTE: The method for correcting observed fuel economy for vehicles with diesel engines has not been investigated to the same degree that it has for gasoline-powered vehicles. However, the ambient temperature and barometric pressure corrections are primarily for changes in air density and its effect on aerodynamic drag. Hence, the correction factors for gasoline-powered vehicles are recommended for use until additional data become available. 10.3.1 Definitions (see 10.2.1) See Equation 9.
