The reduced gasoline consumption leads directly to benefits: economic benefits from reduced consumer expenditures for gasoline, environmental benefits from reduced carbon dioxide and other emissions, and security benefits from reduced demand for oil. To quantify benefits, the panel constructed 145 different possible technical outcomes, each consisting of a unique combination of technical success levels of the three R&D areas it evaluated.
