These per-barrel increases may be offset by decreases in refined product demand and refinery crude runs resulting from mandated increases in the use of alternative fuels, improved fuel economy of the vehicle fleet, and improvements in refinery energy efficiency driven by prospective state and Federal limits on CO 2 emissions (e.g.,

When considering the typical 3-5 year lifespan of a lead-acid battery in a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, many drivers assume that an EV battery requires regular replacement. Comprehensive planning, often referred to as community electric vehicle readiness , prepares communities for the shift to electric vehicles.

This scenario includes GHG emissions, vehicle sales, fuel consumption, carbon intensity, and changes in VMT. The LC1 scenario is referred to as ‘central’ to distinguish it from other low-carbon scenarios (‘side cases’) described in the full report. Fuels: About 86% of transportation fuel is petroleum.

Michael Sivak of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) examined several topics related to fuel economy and advanced vehicle technologies. 52% of respondents said it didn’t matter to them how a vehicle saves fuel and reduces emissions. Gasoline internal-combustion engines rated second-most preferred at $2.50/gallon,

Deciding that the future of transportation, and therefore their survival, will be based on EVs, many of the top auto companies have promised to end production of their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035, if not earlier. Yet, even with the global EV market share projected to grow from only about 2.6

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In References.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. 11/11/06 General Motors Corp.
