Key Findings
•Consumers seem more informed about fuel economy compared to focus groups conducted on behalf of this project in 2011; however, there is still misinformation.
•There is far less familiarity with alternative fuels and information related to GHG and other emissions. Respondents feel this information is not readily available.
•The campaign concept tests well. Consumers are interested in learning more about these topics, but are not actively seeking out information.
•They expect to find this information in typical automotive sources such as Car & Driver, Consumer Reports, KBB.com, Edmunds.com and others.
•Fact sheets and the interactive infographic are highly rated. Respondents feel these provide useful information and recommend only design and/or user experience edits before these are ready for roll-out.
•The animated video and video game receive mixed reviews and warrant further discussions on refinements and overall inclusion in the campaign.
•Respondents recommend a mix of traditional and non-traditional communication channels in order to more effectively reach and educate consumers.
•This includes online and offline sources, from websites and social media ads to inserts in registration renewal materials and advertising at the gas pump.

Consumer Knowledge & Interest
Fuel Economy
Respondents are hearing a lot about fuel economy, and are easily able to list behaviors that help improve the miles per gallon they are able to achieve. While there is still some misinformation, respondents seem generally more informed compared to our focus groups in 2011.
For many this is one of the top factors in the vehicle purchase decision. Others say it is not the first piece of information they consider, but when they narrow down their options, it does have an impact on the final purchase.
Consumers are interested in learning more about this topic as it has a direct impact on their wallets; however, they are more likely to be seeking out this information when in the vehicle purchase process.

Economy vs. Efficiency
<number>
Improving Fuel Economy
<number>
Check tire pressure Reduce extra weight Pay attention to RPMs Ease into higher speeds Use cruise control Oil changes Drive a consistent speed Combine trips Map out trip for shortest distance Drive on highways/freeways Carpool Use higher octane fuel | Tune ups Change air filter Reduce speed Keep fuel at half a tank or higher Fill up at certain times of day Hyper-mile Choose certain gas stations Clean fuel injector Turn heat/air conditioning off Keep windows up Leave car running for quick stops Remove bicycles from roof rack |
Alternative Fuels
Respondents are far less informed about alternative fuels, and many question what we are referring to when we use that term. They assume this to mean fuels like electricity, diesel, E85 biodiesel, and natural gas.
Within many groups, one or two respondents are familiar with various alternative fuels and seem to have educated themselves on the topic, but even these respondents suggest there is not a lot of information being pushed to consumers, and much of what they see is not useful or more even conflict.
Consumers are looking for simple, easy to reference information that compares alternative fuels and gasoline across cost (vehicle cost and fuel cost), availability, fuel efficiency, environmental impact, and maintenance considerations.
Most agree that while they are interested in learning more, this topic is likely more relevant to them when considering a new vehicle as their cars cannot be retrofitted to use an alternative fuel.
<number>
GHG & Other Emissions
Respondents have varying levels of awareness about greenhouse gases and other emissions – the male groups and those in Seattle are generally more informed. These consumers are hearing about the negative impacts of emissions on the environment, particularly in relation to global warming and ozone depletion. However, they do not immediately consider the connection with fuel economy.
When prompted, most easily grasp the concept that higher fuel efficiency correlates to fewer emissions..
Some are curious to learn the impact of vehicle emissions and how that is measured. They would expect to find information online from the EPA, environmental groups or even manufacturers and energy companies. However, no sources come to mind as particularly helpful on this topic.
<number>
Communication Channels
•There is high interest in all of these topics. Some are more interested in fuel economy tips because it is something they can implement right away. Others are more interested in alternative fuels, because they have more to learn and want to hear about the innovations being made within the industry.
•Sources of information on these topics have not changed since the research we conducted in 2011. Top sources named include: Google, Car & Driver, Consumer Reports, Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds.com, mechanics, friends & family, AAA, Carfax, advertising, dealerships, car shows, etc.
•For alternative fuels, they may also consider consulting tech publications. Some suggest they are more likely to trust a dealer for this information, as long as they are helping you to compare models, rather than simply trying to close a sale.
•For GHG and other emissions, some respondents feel they are more likely to trust government or education sources (“a .gov or a .edu”).
•Respondents assume resources like the Department of Transportation, or other government sources could be helpful, but are unlikely to have used these in the past. Most would trust the government to provide this information, but it’s not top-of-mind to go to a government site.
<number>
Campaign Materials
Materials Testing Overview
•Within these focus groups we tested four materials that would be part of this campaign, as well as four campaign slogans.
•The fact sheet receives positive feedback, and respondents feel it is informative and educational. The information is clear, but could be simplified. Older respondents are particularly positive toward this type of content.
•The interactive infographic is also well-liked, with only one group providing neutral or negative ratings. Respondents feel that the information provided in this graphic is useful, but would want to be able to navigate the image on their own, rather than have to follow a specific click path.
•The video receives mixed reviews, but like the concept of having video as part of this campaign. Most respondents feel the content is useful and they would pay attention if this were to be an ad displayed ahead of other online video content, but some feel the animation may be too juvenile.
•The video game also receives mixed reviews. While many respond positively to the gameplay, few feel the game is relevant to them. Even those who are likely to try the game question whether or not they would be compelled to play again. Many respondents suggest this is a good educational method for younger drivers.
•Drive Green, Save Green stands out as the most memorable slogan, and the one that best encompasses all the topics discussed in these focus groups.
•Low awareness of NHTSA is a hurdle. Respondents are unlikely to seek out NHTSA as a source of this information, and feel that they need more information on the agency in order to assess whether or not they trust the materials. Further, there is a clear disconnect in consumers’ minds between NHTSA’s “safety” mission and the topics discussed in these groups.
<number>
Fact Sheet: Summary of Feedback
Overall, respondents react positively to the fact sheet and the information presented. Most feel that the content is understandable and the design is clean. However, many believe the first page will need to better establish the purpose of the fact sheet, what type of information to expect, who NHTSA is and why they are presenting this information.
Respondents generally expect to find this type of fact sheet online, but some could also see this being printed and available at dealerships or other vehicle-related locations. For an online execution, they want to be able to click on individual topics or icons to get more detailed information.
Some also recommend cutting down the technology descriptions to make it more mobile-friendly.

Infographic: Summary
Across most groups, the interactive infographic receives very positive feedback. Respondents feel this tool is engaging and educational, and even our most informed respondents feel they learn something from the information provided.
The user experience seems clear and straightforward, but respondents are looking to be able to click around the image rather than follow a specified click path. As it is currently designed, many feel that they would leave the page before reaching the end.
Additional recommendations are mostly around the graphic design. Many are unsure what the roof rack is until it is clicked and additional information is provided. Also, respondents suggest a more dramatic transition of the environment to more clearly connect these behaviors to lower emissions.

Video: Summary
Overall, the video storyboards receive mixed reviews. While the concept of a video that provides tips is appealing and useful, some respondents feel that the animation may be too childish.
Consumers are unlikely to seek out this video content, but say they would pay attention if this were an ad before another online video. They also expect to see this type of content at the gas pump, as a PSA before a movie, or on Facebook (either as a promoted post or shared by a friend).
Respondents make clear distinctions between which sequences they like and don’t like. Sequence 4 (starting and stopping) is one that consistently receives negative feedback.
In advanced of quantitative testing, it will be important to decide whether or not to move forward with an animated video, or one with a different look and feel. Further, we recommend developing this video and testing the final product within the survey in order to better gauge comprehension and appeal, as well as to determine shorter clips that can be leveraged more broadly and guide targeting.

Video Game: Summary
Respondents also have mixed reactions to the video game concept. Some respondents who actively play mobile games think it would be fun to play, while others feel it is not relevant or interesting enough to prompt a download.
Participants in Kansas City are the most favorable toward the game. Across all markets, younger respondents and women were generally more favorable. Others suggest the game might be good for their children or as a tool for educating new drivers, but not necessarily “relevant to me.”
The gameplay also receives mixed reviews. Some appreciate the strategy involved and the competitive nature, and liken the game to Oregon Trail (which they recall fondly).
Several respondents suggest that the game could be improved by adding tie-ins to real life (i.e., selecting their actual vehicle or piping in gas prices by geographic location).
However, even those who feel positive toward the concept question whether or not this game could hold players interest over time.

Campaign Considerations
•Campaign Concept/Messaging is Still Relevant: Campaign messaging continues to resonate. Respondents are interested in learning about these topics and appreciate the tips and other facts included within these materials.
•Materials Should be Targeted: With a broad target audience, it is important to consider a variety of materials that appeal to different demographics. Within the quantitative survey, we can explore appeal across age, gender, and other audience characteristics in order to guide campaign targeting.
•Lead Consumers to Content: Consumers are interested in these topics, but not actively seeking out information. Paid advertising and SEO will be important for driving consumers to the educational content on fuel economy, alternative fuels, and GHG and other emissions.
•Reach New Vehicle Purchasers: As they enter the car-buying process, new vehicles purchasers are a captive audience, seeking information related to the vehicles they are considering. Leveraging NHTSA’s existing partnerships with sites like Cars.com to capture consumers when they need this information most will be important to enhancing the reach of this campaign.
•Leverage Varied Communication Channels: Respondents recommend various channels through which to reach them with this campaign including online (search, advertising, websites), traditional media (magazines, TV), outdoor ads (gas stations, billboards, public transit), relevant vehicle materials (registration renewal, insurance documents), driver’s education, and other vehicle locations (dealership, DMV, maintenance facility).
•Address Alternative Fuels: Respondents feel that they have the most to learn about alternative fuels, and would welcome an unbiased source to provide them with information on this topic. They believe that the materials tested did not sufficiently focus on this topic, and are interested in comparisons across alternative fuels to help them with future purchase decisions.
