Safety Regulations are a big deal because They can go Three Hundred and Thirty +MPH so safety regulations and cutoffs for battery and transmission are necessary. Safety components are important‚ in case something goes wrong‚ a wreck can be prevented as much as possible. The engine components are large which makes it go fast. What is a Top Fuel Dragster? Well a Top fuel dragster

The purpose of this report is to compare the fuel efficiency‚ by cost‚ of three different vehicles using Regular‚ Mid and Premium grade fuel. The vehicles chosen are a 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage‚ 2011 Volkswagen Golf‚ and a 2005 Nissan Xterra. This comparison is estimated by calculating the cost of fuel based on Miles Per Gallon (MPG) for both Highway and City mileage for each vehicle. The MPG for each vehicle is based on information found on the website fueleconomy.gov. The total mileage used is 15

Impact Of High Fuel Prices Impact of High Fuel Costs The rise in the cost of fuel has had an impact in many areas of our economy. Higher food prices‚ costs of heating‚ and transportation have had the largest affect on the average American. This change has forced us to make choices in order to maintain our current quality of life and has sparked a philosophical debate as to how we arrived here and how we should attack this problem in the short term and in the future. Do we maintain our consumption

Lastly‚ algae biofuel does not exploit excess water. Algae fuels have no influence fresh water resources‚ they can be grown anywhere. Algae can be developed in the ocean‚ freshwater‚ and wastewater and even the sewage‚ having no effect to our fresh water. There is really no perimeter to the types of water in

on an array of sources like wind‚ fossil-fuel‚ water‚ solar‚ and more recently biofuels. Of these biofuels‚ which are fuels obtained directly from living plant matter‚ ethanol and biodiesel are the most commonly used. These two sources are typically used to fuel cars‚ trucks‚ aircraft‚ and small-engine machines. Biofuels have garnered much attention because they are derived from renewable resources like corn and soybeans rather than non-renewable fossil fuels. The main advantage to biofuels has always

Fuel properties of diesel‚ mahua oil and blends are comparable. The calorific value of mahua oil was found as 96.30% on volume basis of diesel. It was found that mahua could be easily substituted up to 20% in diesel without any significant difference in power output‚ brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency. The
