Examines DoD¿s strategy to achieve assured energy supplies. Identifies: opportunities to reduce fuel demand by forces and assess the effects on cost, operations and force structure; identify opportunities to deploy renewable and alternative energy sources for facilities and forces; identify institutional barriers to making the transitions recommended; identify and recommend programs to reduce facility energy use; and identify the benefits from DoD deployment of new energy technologies. There are 2 challenges: battlespace fuel demand compromises our operational capability and can jeopardize mission success; and critical missions at military installations are vulnerable to loss from commercial power outage and inadequate backup power supplies.

GAO was requested to: (1) examine the background for the current fuel economy standards; (2) review pertinent studies that assess the potential for attaining further fuel economy improvements; and (3) obtain information on the financial impact of the fuel economy standards on the automobile industry in meeting such standards. The federal fuel economy standards were established in response to fuel shortages and concern that the nation's dependence on foreign oil posed a threat to national security and the economy. A major goal of the standards was to reduce U.S. gasoline consumption through the production and sale of more fuel-efficient automobiles. The automobile accounts for about 30 percent of all petroleum consumption and is a major factor contributing to the nation's dependence on foreign oil. After the fuel economy standards were established, the automobile industry expressed concern about having to produce cars that met the fuel standards within the specified timeframes. The industry felt that it did not have enough time to redesign its equipment and plants to produce automobiles that met the fuel standards. During the 1970's, gasoline prices rose substantially. By 1979, Americans were purchasing imported, smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. To compete with the imports and produce automobiles that met the fuel economy standards, the industry began pouring huge amounts of capital into redesigning its product line. However, this capital investment and sagging revenues resulting from high car prices and high interest rates have placed the industry in a weakened financial position for the next several years. The two major automobile producers will most likely have negative cash flows of about $3 to 5 billion in 1981. Two studies predict a moderate improvement in fuel economy gains by the early to mid-1990's, or a rapid improvement by the 1990's.

Every new automobile sold in the United States has a label showing its tested fuel economy. In addition, all fuel economy test results are published annually to encourage the production and purchase of more fuel-efficient automobiles. Consumers are skeptical, however, because their on-road experience often falls far short of the tested mileage figures.

If you aren’t familiar with hypermiling you should look into what it is all about. Chances are you will be hearing that term floating around quite a bit. It is a way for you to be able to cut back on the amount of fuel you consume. Since most of us rely upon our vehicle to get us around we need to make it go further with less fuel being consumed. You may be thinking that you are already doing all you can to cut costs. You are watching the prices at the pumps and you are cutting back on when and where you drive. You may be frustrated about all of it as well. This is because it simply isn’t always possible to cut down on the amount that you use your vehicle. You can’t change how far it is to your place of employment due to gas prices. Getting another job closer may not be possible. At the same time you may really like the job you have. There is also the pay to consider as a new job may start you out at less than you make right now. With the economy being as low as it is right now, the job market is difficult as well. It is understandable that you may be worried about a lay off or not being needed at a particular job site. If you have been at one place for a while there is some job security in that. You also have your other commitments such as getting kids to school, grocery shopping, and running errands. While you can arrange things to flow better you still won’t be able to completely cut these needs out of your schedule. It just isn’t realistic to expect anyone to blow off all of the other things going on in their life because they can’t pay for the high cost of fuel. If you still want to be able to enjoy those things then pay attention to the various hypermiling methods. They can really help you even if you aren’t sure at this time. Gas is going to be consumed no matter where you go and what you do. If you take your vehicle there it will be an additional expense to consider. Carpooling isn’t always a practical solution either when you have so many things going on. People tend to overextend themselves so having your own car is often necessary in order to be able to successfully get it all done. If you have a work schedule that varies it is even harder to carpool. Try to do it if possible though even a couple of days per week. With the outlook for the economy being quite grim right now, consumers are at the mercy of oil prices when the approach the pumps. Since the government isn’t able to offer us the relief we need it is up to each of us to do something. You can sit around and complain about how much you pay per gallon for gas or you can be more efficient. The government has made some efforts though by offering information about hypermiling on various websites. It is a good idea to take a look at that information so you can see for yourself that it is substantial material. In many ways this is a service the government is offering to help the average person be able to get by in light of the increases in prices. Once you finish reading this you will have plenty of information about hypermiling. You will be able to implement a strategy that works so you can get the most out of it. This way you can make your car go further with less gas. That means more money in your pocket instead of being placed in order for you to get around. You should be able to start implementing many of them in very little time at all. Make sure you review the list of hypermiling strategies on a regular basis though. If you aren’t effectively practicing certain ones you may end up forgetting about them. Should that happen you won’t be able to get as much savings as you could.

Making Cars More Fuel Efficient written by European Conference of Ministers of Transport and has been published by ECMT/OECD this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005 with Business & Economics categories.

Studies show that cars use significantly more fuel per km than suggested by official certification test ratings, and some argue that this gap is growing as a percentage of the tested value. This has raised concerns that national fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions reduction goals will not be met, and that consumers will lose faith in reported fuel economy figures. This publication analyses the fuel efficiency gap and examines technologies available that could reduce that gap and improve fuel economy, as well as considering policy options for encouraging uptake of these technologies by vehicle manufacturers and, in some cases, by consumers themselves.

Emergency is a collection of true stories about events where disaster seems imminent. Yet each situation is concluded without loss of life thanks to the skill of the pilots and their crews, whose bravery and resourcefulness have earned them well-deserved commendations. Written by a British Airways First Officer, Stanley Stewart, who has spoken at first hand with the pilots and crews involved in all the incidents recorded here, the book offers a unique insight into what really happened: not the passengers eye-view, which in many cases is already documented, but the view from the flight deck of the aircraft itself.
