RVP Reduction for Control of Wintertime CO 981373

A vehicle emissions test program was conducted to evaluate the impact of gasoline RVP reduction on CO emissions under conditions that are typical of CO exceedance days in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Test results showed that CO emissions were reduced in the Las Vegas fleet when RVP was changed from 12 to 9 psi. In the Los Angeles fleet, the results were less consistent, perhaps due to the poorer integrity of evaporative emissions control systems on these vehicles. This suggests that an optimum emissions control strategy might include both RVP reduction and an effective vehicle inspection and maintenance (I&M) program.
