Online resources: Abstract: It is shown that the relative demands for gasoline and diesel fuels are price-responsive. Given the differing emissions-based externalities from these two fuel types, it is contended that discriminatory fuel duty might be a means to reduce these externalities. Results are derived from an Almost Ideal Demand System with time-varying technological progress, estimated using a bootstrap procedure given the nonnormalities and relative small sample sizes.
