The testing was mandated by the Energy Tax Act of 1978 in order to determine the rate of the guzzler tax that applies for the sales of new cars.
The current procedure has been updated in 2008 and includes four tests: city driving (the FTP-75 proper), highway driving (HWFET), aggressive driving (SFTP US06), and optional air conditioning test (SFTP SC03).
