In June 2008, EPA outlined testing needed for the agency to approve a waiver, and EPA requirements were consistent with test plans developed by the auto and oil industries. The CRC Engine Durability study took duplicates of eight different vehicle model engines spanning 2001-2009 model years. Background. Earlier post.)

EIA: distillate yields at US refineries are rising

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 17, 2012

In October 2011, the refinery yield of distillate fuels (a category that includes diesel fuel and heating oil) reached 29.7%, matching the previous record set in December 2008, according to figures from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). For all major products, only the distillate yield is higher now than it was in October 2001.
