AlbakiReads Editorial

Energy use, efficiency, and the environmental costs of driving

Douglas R. Carroll’s second edition connects the measurement of vehicle energy use with its environmental consequences. It covers calculations involving energy, power, and efficiency, then applies models to examine how city driving affects the energy efficiency and fuel economy of cars and trucks. The combination gives the book a practical analytical scope: readers encounter both the underlying quantities and a specific driving context in which vehicle performance can be considered. Its subject is vehicle efficiency, but the discussion also places that topic within broader decisions about energy use and environmental impact.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students studying vehicle energy use or efficiency.
  • Professionals seeking calculations and models related to cars, trucks, and city driving.
  • Readers interested in the environmental consequences of energy consumption.
