Engine performance is equivalent to that of the existing gasoline-fueled I6. Liquid injection LPG delivers significant driveability and operating improvements compared to the previous E-Gas venturi-style vapor system offered by Ford, including better fuel economy and substantial increases in both power and torque outputs.

The SMP model calculates 2000?2050 The Ford team updated the SMP model with historical data for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and extended the model to calculate the total CO 2 emissions (tonnes) and the TTW (tank-to-wheel) emission rate (g CO 2 /km) for the new vehicle fleet. They converted from an absolute amount to scale relative to 2000.

One of the key findings in the California’s Energy Future Summary Report is that California will likely have limited availability of low-carbon biofuels for use in the transportation sector, because of biomass availability and competing uses for biomass for heat and power (CCST 2011).

The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle — with even greater fuel economy possible utilizing bio-fuels. Such a vehicle could reduce gasoline consumption for the average American by 50 percent to 70 percent and reduce automobile emissions well in excess of emissions that might result from the additional use of power plants.
