Comments on: Gasoline-Diesel Cocktail Could Make Engines Cleaner, More Efficient http://gas2.org/2009/08/06/gasoline-diesel-cocktail-could-make-engines-cleaner-more-efficient/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

This would have also have provided jobs here and it would really not have changed the total exhaust from ICEs in the world." This a fallacy. We don't have the type of oil reserves that can meet our demand. It's just not true but is a common right wing talking point. Now if they were actually serious about making electric cars 40 years ago then yes we wouldn't be dealing with opec today or fighting wars in countries we have no business being in. The electric car has been around for more then 120 years. This is not some new phenomenon. Splitting the atom we can do but building better batteries for some reason is only getting better now. “Our dependence on OPEC could have been cut off at any time in the last40 years simply by using oil reserves that we have in our country.

I think most modern turbo diesels are in the 40% range now. I had a TDi Jetta and got 49-55 mpg with gobs of power (On the highway, for example, I never needed to downshift to pass or climb a big hill...once you're in the engine's sweet spot, it's like having a V8 under the hood). “…most ICE engines have a thermal efficiency of just 25%.”
