What consumers will gain when manufacturers provide more fuel-efficient cars? Today‚ we have many different kinds of cars to choose. They have different sizes‚ colors‚ prices and models. When we buy an automobile‚ we look for the best auto to satisfy our needs like going to the store. Manufacturers provide more cars to help us in our needs. When manufactures provide more fuel-efficient autos‚ consumers save money‚ gas‚ and time. A fuel-efficient car will help us saved money. I mean think about

fossil fuels are readily accessible. These fuels are easy to use‚ and a simple combustion procedure turns them into energy for running a vehicle‚ generating electricity and/or heat. Fossil fuels are currently a cheap source of energy and so are the methods of producing energy from them. With our present distribution networks‚ we can get fossil fuels of all kinds around the world. That makes it easy to employ them‚ no matter where you are. Thus‚ there is a huge dependence of fossil fuels. That means

Petroleum‚ otherwise known as petrol‚ results in pollution during every stage of production‚ this ranges from: mining and recovery to refining‚ transporting and more importantly using it as fuel. Drilling wells is responsible for direct pollution due to oil spills; consequently‚ drilling also leads to the injection of watery liquids into the wells which are later distributed as drilling mud that often cause their own toxic pollution. Furthermore‚ the transporting of such oil by tanker ships have

Dynamic regulatory trends‚ particularly in North America and Europe has prompted fuel marketers to use specialty fuel additives which is expected remain a key driving factor for the market over the forecast period. In addition‚ ban on MTBE in the U.S. is expected to further push the demand for fuel additives over the next six years. However‚ emergence of alternative fuel such

The "fuel cell cars" currently being advertised are being touted as "having no emissions except water." In a limited sense that is‚ in fact‚ true. However‚ if the entire fuel cycle for the car is considered it most certainly is not. The fuel used by the fuel cell is hydrogen‚ very pure hydrogen. Combined with oxygen from the ambient air‚ the fuel cell produces electricity that powers an electric motor and other devices in the vehicle--just like the battery-driven electric vehicles already on the

From Fossil Fuels to Renewable Energy The gas pump. As of late‚ it has been the bane of drivers everywhere. With the prices of crude oil skyrocketing combined with the prices at the pump and nearly everywhere else‚ many people are looking toward renewable energy sources to supplement or replace the use of fossil fuels. This interest in renewable resources has generated new energy policies around the world‚ has spawned new energy technology and has produced ideas on a different way of

No pollution: A great benefit of using Hydrogen fuel cells is that they give off no pollution‚ and in fact produce pure water as a byproduct. Even though currently engineers are concentrating on producing hydrogen from natural gas‚ it will be for a short-term. Scientists are planning to have renewable environmentally-friendly ways of producing hydrogen in the future. Efficiency: Fuel cells generate electrical power

It is considered an alternative fuel source as it is regarded to be renewable and more beneficial to the environment. As a car fuel ethanol is blended with petrol in different concentrations. In cars‚ carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete combustion of petroleum. By adding ethanol which has 35% oxygen the combustion is more
