RSI’s Gas Saving Tip of the day: Fuel efficiency is important - as is an engine’s ability to efficiently process fuel as cleanly as possible. The Environmental Protection Agency has a program that includes a verification process. According to the EPA, this process evaluates the emission reduction performance of retrofit technologies, including their durability, and identifies engine operating criteria and conditions that must exist for these technologies to achieve those reductions. Visit the EPA’s site (www.epa.gov) for a complete list of approved technologies.

RSI’s Gas Saving Tip of the day: Despite lower fuel prices, analysts say it’s still wise time to change driving habits (habits that use less fuel that is). The inauguration is just a few months away and with it comes unknown economic changes, and perhaps known ones as well. OPEC prices are expected to go up - if only because there’s only so much the price per barrel will drop (it’s starting to sound like physics!) Lower diesel prices though are no reason to relax and not worry. Better to adopt driving habits that are resourceful and frugal at heart to prevent a systematic shock when prices start to creep up again.

The changing tides of hybrid technology.
Southern California ports continue to pioneer greener paths – this time with a hybrid tugboat. In an ongoing effort to reduce images both on land and sea, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have jumpstarted an environmentally friendly - and forward thinking - partnership that could bring a hybrid tugboat to the ports in 2009.
Two of the busiest ports in the world, both Long Beach and Los Angeles see their fare share pollution and in this case, it comes in the form of, “thick, dirty sludge called bunker fuel while at sea and slurp diesel to keep the lights and air conditioning running while in port.” (insert citation) In addition, “Inefficient yard tractors and cranes guzzle fuel and spew exhaust as they stack containers. And tugboats, pound for pound the most powerful vessels on the water, waste most of that muscle idling or cruising.”
Enter the tugboat hybrid. At a cost of $1.35 million, Foss Maritime Co. of Seattle developed the tugboat hybrid that will improve water and air quality. The vessel will run on both batteries and diesel fuel.
A majority of the of the ports’ environmental focus has been on not on sea vessels – but those travelling on land. Trucks must now go through retrofitting, inspections, you name it - but all in the name of cleaner air.
On a larger scale, there are currently about 4,000 tugboats in America, according to the American Waterways Operators. GE is also in the process of creating a hybrid tug and that will work off of a diesel-electric drivetrains. The hybrid engines must be able to provide short burst of high power in order to move the gigantic freighters and tankers. GE’s technology - battery powered engines - would allow them to do both without the fuel intake the non-hybrids require now. The type of fuel intake that leads to loads of pollution. According to Wired.com, “General Electric wants to take the technology to sea in a tugboat that could burn 35 percent less fuel and emit 80 percent less pollution than anything else on the water,” (http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/ge-developing-a.html) .
]]>RSI’s Gas Saving Tip of the day: 5 months seems like a long time ago - at least looking at it from a pump perspective. According to California’s energy almanac, gas prices continue to fall throughout the state. Just five months ago - fuel prices hit a record high of $4.588. Today - you can find diesel for less than $2.50.

RSI’s Gas Saving Tip of the day: Save gas money by - staying out of the East? Well, not really as diesel prices are dropping all over the country. However, the EIA reports that the U.S. average price for diesel fuel fell below $3 a gallon for the first time since September 17 of last year, decreasing 14.4 cents to 294.4 cents per gallon. Prices continued to fall across the Nation and dropped below the $3 mark in all regions - except the East Coast. But - that doesn’t mean it won’t happen!

As consumers, drivers, business owners, and Americans – we’ve all seen fuel prices drop drastically in the last month and a half. While it’s good for the wallet, it raises concerns about the economy as a whole. Like we need more of those! Fortunately, federal organizations including the Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects, analyzes, and provides detailed answers and projections in regards to fuel consumption and pricing on a domestic and international scale. This blog will look at the EIA’s just-released report concerning the short-term energy outlook.
The EIA reports that, “The current U.S. and global economic downturn has led to a decrease in global energy demand and a rapid and substantial reduction in crude oil and other energy prices. As a result, projections for both energy demand and prices are considerably lower than last month’s Outlook.” (http://www.eia.doe.gov/steo.)
We’ve all seen barrel prices rice and fall faster than it takes the media to release the latest economic report. Just last July, the monthly average price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil dropped from more than $133 per barrel, landing at approximately $77 per barrel just last month. While many of us are enjoying the drop in price, a fog of anxiety still lingers as none of us know when prices may go back up just as quickly as they fell.
The economy and world economy at that has played a significant role in the EIA’s findings and overall outlook. The nation’s dropping economic growth is reminiscent of the entire world. The EIA stated this drop, “has led to a significant reduction in (the EIA’s) Outlook’s assumptions for world economic growth and projections of energy demand and prices,” (http://www.eia.doe.gov/steo.)
.
Overall, as consumption drops, the EIA feels future fuel prices (in relation to OPEC and Non-OPEC trends) will remain a they are – which is a lot less than what they were four months ago. Good news for the gas tank, but telling news of an economy that steers the rise and fall of oil prices.
]]>RSI’s Gas Saving Tip of the day: The Department of Energy Information Administration released its Short-Term Energy Outlook. The report assesses the domestic and global demand for crude oil, gas, diesel and much more. Check it out in full here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/steo.
