This program, which began in July and ended on August 24, 2009, provided credit for customers who purchased a qualifying new, more fuel efficient auto or light truck. For further information on how the CARS program is reflected in the GDP statistics, please see the FAQ at BEA’s Web site, www.bea.gov, “How will the federal Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (i.e., the CARS program) be reflected in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs)?” Purchases of nondurable goods increased 1.0 percent in August, in contrast to a decrease of 0.3 percent in July.
