Federal Alternative Fuel Fleet Act

Summary

Federal Alternative Fuel Fleet Act - Requires a certain percentage of motor vehicles acquired by the Federal Government for use in a metropolitan or consolidated metropolitan statistical area with a 1990 population of more than 250,000 to be alternative fuel vehicles by specified dates. Amends the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act to prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from considering the fuel economy of such alternative fuel vehicles with respect to the enforcement of fuel economy standards under such Act. Prescribes circumstances under which alternative fuels shall be offered for sale to the public. Mandates that the incremental costs of alternative fuel vehicles shall not be applied to any calculation with respect to a limitation under law on the maximum cost of individual vehicles which may be acquired by the United States. Requires the Secretary of Defense to study the feasibility of increasing the use of alternative fuel vehicles in the Department of Defense's motor vehicle fleet. Authorizes appropriations.
