Gasoline Powered Vehicles

The issue that I have chosen is electric cars. This issue is significant because there are many people that choose electric cars over gas-powered cars. Electric cars are known for eliminating oil from transportation and being the better choice; But is it really? In the article I chose it says "Your battery powered vehicle is only as green as your electricity supplier". Electric vehicles are a smarter choice because they are economically feasible. This means that if you own a gas-powered car, it will be more expensive to keep filling up your tank with gas. The cost per mile for gas-powered vehicles is a lot more when filling it with fuel. Gas vehicles are at an average of $3.65 a gallon while electric vehicles fill up for an average of $1.14 per Gallon. The negative traits about electric vehicles is that the battery has to be replaced about every eight years and it doesn’t do so well in the winter because it has to be charged every night can could go up to 80 MPH, which is an expense that gas-powered car owners don’t have to worry about. Reading on this topic more I have learned that the first cars that were made were all mostly electric and as time has gone on gas-powered cars started to get more popular.

America's dependency on foreign oil is slowly crippling the average citizen's hard-earned income with outrageous fluctuation in gas prices. The American government seriously needs to step it in gear and start taking action on possible supplemental energy sources to replace foreign oil and actually begin providing those sources to the public without overpricing. Today's foreign oil is polluting our air and crushing we as American's pockets. "Rising U.S. demand for imported oil accounts for more than a third of the U.S.

The world has seen fuel prices spiral up or down to meet supply and demand. Because of this, people need to choose a cost effective fuel to meet their needs. Vehicles in the world today run off of many different types of fuel. Biodiesel is a modern fuel compared to the commonly known diesel. Biodiesel has several advantages over diesel. Biodiesel fuel comes from a renewable resource, it is better on the environment, and it meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s definition for fuel standards. In addition, Biodiesel is the most promising alternative fuel source, backed by both federal approval and incentives. Finally, consumer attitudes are changing for the positive when it comes to biodiesel. For these reasons, biodiesel should be used more often by people in the world today.

In today’s society, everyone seems to be in a rush. Convenience trumps nearly anything and everything. The closest and the promptest option is the one we often lean toward, regardless of the consequence or cost. One of the biggest convenience items within the 21st Century is gasoline. Regardless of the price, we often purchase this item at the most suitable site and time, especially when we are in desperate need of the item. Gasoline companies are alert that convenience is ideal; therefore, they alter gas prices to obtain the greatest amount of business.

The demand of gasoline has increased steadily over the last twenty years. In 1981 the U.S. averaged 6.5 million barrels of gasoline consumption per day. By comparison, in 2004 the U.S. averaged 9.2 million barrels of gasoline consumption per day. For most of this time period, gas prices stayed relatively the same. This is because the U.S. refineries increased their production to meet the demand and maintain the equilibrium price. Also during this same time period worldwide demand for crude oil increased 27%. Crude oil producers also increased their production to meet the demand keeping prices the same.

Cars, just about every household in America has probably at least two parked in their driveway at any given time. The dependency on the gas powered car has substantially increased since it’s invention and production back in 1908 by the Ford Motor Company. As of 2014, it was estimated that there were over 88 million cars produced world-wide and growing every day. (Fig. 1) Even though a lot of these vehicles might be the new Hybrid edition, the majority of them have a dependency on oil and gasoline products for their survival and existence. Petroleum products, such as oil and gasoline do not come cheap or even free to the consumer, even the

90) Since 2004 the demand for gasoline has been constant and the price of gasoline has continued to rise, causing gasoline expenditures to rise astronomically. However, given that an acceptable substitute for gasoline does not exist, consumers are unable to cutback on the amount of gasoline being consumed. The article suggests that some reasons for consumers’ inability or unwillingness to cutback on the consumption of gasoline are long commutes, the use of vehicles which are not fuel efficient and a lack of alternative solutions such as carpooling and public transit options. The law of supply also suggests that if a firm cuts back on the amount of a good being supplied, the cost of cutting back outweighs the cost of continuing the supply.

Although the rising price may not seem to limit the drivers on the road, it does contribute to the growing problem of debt among the country. Resources for gasoline have taken a plunge over the years because now a day’s more and more people are driving on the road, resulting in more people needing gasoline.

As stated in his article “Why the Gasoline Engine Isn’t Going Away Any Time Soon,” Joseph B. White believes that “an automotive revolution is coming -- but it’s traveling in the slow lane” (White 260). He goes on to state throughout his article that today’s reality is one that prevents this “revolution” from taking place in the way that Americans all hope for. He sites the current inability to design an engine that would run on an energy source other than gasoline or diesel but still have the same power that traditional engines have, as well as the cost of gasoline versus the cost of electricity, as some of the sources of our woes. Some companies do not want to move away from their old factories and workers whose union agreements make dismissing

Delivery service is a way of life. Each day, people get packages sent to them by way of this service. But few people think of the costs the delivery company has to deal with. One of the main operating costs that we as a delivery company have is gasoline. We use gasoline daily in massive quantities. The cost of gas affects American’s daily, and people can be heard complaining about the high prices. What about delivery companies? In this paper, we will be discussing the effect of rising gas prices on our company throughout the next ten years.

The United States is one of the large fossil fuel consuming country. Most of the automobile vehicle in the country run on the fuels like gasoline and diesel. These fuels are responsible for the increase in pollution. The demand for this fuel is increasing day by day. It is necessary to find alternative fuels because at some point these fuels are going to end. To encourage users to use cleaner vehicles to avoid pollution federal and state governments provide users significant incentives.

The difficulties of owning a gas operated vehicles are depletion of natural resources, global warming and severe health hazards. A increase of heat related illnesses, or pollution in high climate areas may increase breathing problems. Global warming may also affect our agriculture causing farmers to grow crops in difficult temperature climates. This will also increase the cost of produce or groceries. The severity of these fuels and gasses is to a great extent causing a decrease the lifespan of all living things on earth. For every one gallon of gasoline 15 lbs. of carbon dioxide is expelled in our atmosphere. In spite of this it will take billions of years to replenish and compensate the resources that were neglected.

If I had a car running on gasoline, I would suddenly switch that to an electric car. Because there is a lot of good reason for this switch. First of all we all know, electric cars healthier than the cars running on gasoline. Not only healthier but also more cheaper too. The government helps people to getting an electric car. This help is great tax reduction. Because the government wants to encourage people to buy electric cars. The another reason is you know in this country we do not have any oil reserve. If we want oil for cars we have to buy that from other countries. And oil reserves getting less day by day. So oil prices getting high day by day. But electricity is renewable source and we generate electricity in our country. So electric

Recent years have shown an increasingly large need for a practical renewable energy source for such reasons as diminishing fossil fuels and increases in greenhouse gasses. Hydrogen appears to be a way out of this gasoline-dug hole, or at least, a way out in the future. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are being engineered as we speak as the technologies to refuel them cleanly are being proposed. Unfortunately, most of the technologies associated with hydrogen are still in the prototype/pre-production stages and require better enhancements before becoming mainstream. This paper assesses the practicality of hydrogen power in cars both now and in the future while explicating the actual process of how a

The US consumed 142 billion gallons of gasoline in 2007 and the tax applied on it is 18. 4 cents on one gallon. All around the US, there are around 162,000 retail gasoline outlets. With the price of crude oil hovering around $100 a barrel, it is no wonder that concern is growing about the gas prices being so high. After all, modern economies are kept moving by this lifeblood. For instance, in the United States alone personal vehicles consume more than 140 billion gallons of diesel fuel and gasoline per year.However, there are several factors that contribute to the gas prices being so high. Given below are a few of them. Increasing Demand for Oil One of the main catalysts for the incessant rise in gas prices has been one of the most
