The project led by Tang-Wei Kuo from General Motors is focused on optimizing multi-hole injectors for spark-ignited direct-injection (SIDI) gasoline engines. Recently, the most popular SIDI gasoline injectors have been multi-hole type. Davis (UC Davis), R.Sankaran (ORNL). Description. Processor hours (Site).

A study by Jonn Axsen and Ken Kurani from the Institute of Transportation Studies, UC Davis, estimates electricity and gasoline use under three recharging scenarios. In this scenario, gasoline use is estimated and aggregated based on the respondents’ anticipated next conventional vehicles and recorded diary days. Plug and play.

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.

This is not much different from diesel and gasoline which are produced from refining and cleaning crude oil (a process which heavily involves the use of hydrogen). In addition, fuel cell vehicles have zero-CO 2 and zero particulate tailpipe emissions. The investment in infrastructure is not a distant hope or contained to the US alone.

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles.

and UC-Davis Emeritus and Catherine JJ DeMauro. The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars.
