Abstract

Demand for gasoline (petrol) is a significant and complex parameter in energy planning. The authors discuss a simple model of gasoline demand incorporating proxies for the complex relationships which exist. Equations are estimated from annual data for eight provinces and regions in Canada between 1956 and 1972 and pooled cross-section time series results given. The results are compared with two recent studies for the USA. The results incidate a fairly inelastic demand for gasoline in Canada as a whole.
