example, when an air bag inflates. GM's OnStar Value Added Tax (VAT): A tax that imposes a levy
on businesses at every stage of manufacturing based
on the value it adds to a product. Each business in the

supply chain pays its own VAT and is subsequently
repaid by the next link down the chain; hence, a VAT
is ultimately paid by the consumer, being the last link
in the supply chain, making it comparable to a sales
tax. Generally, VAT only applies to goods bought for
consumption within a given country; export goods
are exempt from VAT, and purchasers from other
countries taking goods back home may apply for a
VAT refund.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): The unique

number assigned to a vehicle by its manufacturer for
identification and registration purposes.
Vendor: Any firm, such as a manufacturer or

distributor, from which a retailer obtains
merchandise.
Vertical Integration: A business model in which

one company owns many (or all) of the means of
production of the many goods that comprise its
product line. For example, founder Henry Ford
designed Ford Motor Company's early River Rogue
plant so that coal, iron ore and other needed raw
materials arrived at one end of the plant and were
processed into steel, which was then converted on-
site into finished components. At the final stage of
the plant, completed automobiles were assembled.
World Trade Organization (WTO): One of the

only globally active international organizations
dealing with the trade rules between nations. Its goal
is to assist the free flow of trade goods, ensuring a
smooth, predictable supply of goods to help raise the
quality of life of member citizens. Members form
consensus decisions that are then ratified by their
respective parliaments. The WTO’s conflict
resolution process generally emphasizes interpreting
existing commitments and agreements, and discovers
how to ensure trade policies to conform to those
agreements, with the ultimate aim of avoiding
military or political conflict.

Vehicle Miles Traveled Jan-07 Jan-08

Highway miles (millions) 230,710 226,740
Percent change from same month previous year -0.71 -1.72
Notes: Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are key data for highway planning and management, and a common measure of
roadway use. Along with other data, VMT are often used in estimating congestion, air quality, and potential gas-tax
revenues, and can provide a general measure of the level of the nation's economic activity. The current value is compared
to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.

Retail Gasoline Prices, U.S.: 1995-2008

(Weekly Data in US$ per Gallon)
Notes: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
Motor fuel prices are an important cost component of highway transportation. Changes in motor fuel prices impact the
behavior of both producers and consumers, and affect the demand for transportation in terms of level and modal mix. In the
United States, motor gasoline prices follow world crude oil prices more closely than motor diesel prices. Changes in motor
fuel prices affect the profit margin of transportation firms, particularly trucking firms.
