liter Power Stroke diesel fuel economy estimates will be published this spring. A common-rail fuel injection system precisely optimizes performance and fuel efficiency, while a high-pressure 29,000 pounds per square inch (2000 bar) injection calibration enables smoother, quieter operation with reduced emissions.

Within the next 10 to 20 years, we will not only reach peak oil we will enter a period where demand for all liquid fuels will exceed supply. A century after the invention of the automobile, we must re-invent it with powertrains that significantly reduce or eliminate the use of conventional petroleum fuels. Earlier post.).

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). Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds.

Ford Chairman and CEO Bill Ford told shareholders at the automaker's annual meeting that the automotive market is shifting rapidly because of higher oil prices and the company is trying to respond. Environmentalists argue that plug-in hybrid technology is the most immediate option to improve fuel economy and cut greenhouse gas emissions."

Understanding EV Maintenance Since EVs don’t use oil or transmission fluid, they require less frequent maintenance than ICE vehicles or hybrids. Instead of scheduling oil changes and fluid and brake checks every 5,000 miles, EV owners should schedule a routine “check-up” every 7,500 miles. This service should include: Tire rotation.
