Abstract
The motor vehicles and parts industry in the
United States employed as much as 7.4% of the labour
force in the manufacturing industry in 2006. The purpose
of this paper is to canvass various forecasting models,
determine the optimal forecasting model and then
forecast the sales of light trucks. A secondary purpose is
to investigate the relationship between the gasoline price
and the light truck sales.
