Sec.  538.2  Purpose.

    The purpose of this part is to specify one of the criteria in 49 
U.S.C. chapter 329 ``Automobile Fuel Economy'' for identifying dual-
fueled passenger automobiles that are manufactured in model years 1993 
through 2004. The fuel economy of a qualifying vehicle is calculated in 
a special manner so as to encourage its production as a way of 
facilitating a manufacturer's compliance with the Corporate Average Fuel 
Economy Standards set forth in part 531 of this chapter. The purpose is 
also to establish gallon equivalent measurements for gaseous fuels other 
than natural gas. This part also specifies the model years after 2004 in 
which the fuel economy of dual-fueled automobiles

may be calculated under the special incentive provisions found in 49 
U.S.C. 32905(b) and (d).
