Wouldn’t it be great to recycle the Gasoline ?

We have all seen the price of crude climb at dramatically. It maybe speculation or fundementals. Its hard to know the actuall reason unless you are in the industry.
Do think natural gas is a viable alternative to gasoline from the cost stand point as well as logistics stand point? Do you think [...]

Do some people just not conceive of the notion that there are other possibilities? That oil is finite and the solution of drilling would just be prolonging the inevitable?
Do they not know about all of the fantastic new technologies available that can fuel and propel cars, the possibilities that exist so that we as [...]

Gasoline is produced from crude oil,a nonrenewable resource. Ethanol is mixed with gasoline to produced a fuel called gasohol. Calculate the mass (in grams) of water produced when 66.89 g of ethanol is burned in 56.51 g of oxygen.
C2H5OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Crude oil is heated to about 1250 degrees farenheit. It still doesnt catch fire. I understand that gasoline is ‘derived’ from crude and am not confusing the two. Still, the crude oil has enough flammability to catch fire if it touches a direct flame. Yet, it withstands boiling upto such high temperatures. How? Why?

I found a non-commisioned land cruiser that is basically just going to waste. Its not wrecked that I can tell, but the windshield is cracked real bad (not from an airbag deployment, it looks like a limb fell off a tree and busted it). It looks like all it needs is a new [...]

The prices of oil, gasoline, and other petroleum products, which are key inputs in production, have been decreasing in recent months. Other things being equal, which of the following is likely to occur in the U.S. economy as a result of the decline in oil prices?
(a) An increase in the unemployment rate.
(b) [...]

Ok, so I know we are TOTALLY dependent on foreign oil…but for 10 points and a best answer….why oh why can we not refine the oil we drill all across the United States and covert it into gasoline???? are we Americans not smart enough?? If you know the answer you should be rich and I [...]

WASHINGTON (June 18) — With gasoline topping a gallon, President Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to lift its long-standing ban on offshore oil and gas drilling, saying the United States needs to increase its energy production. Democrats quickly rejected the idea.
"There is no excuse for delay," the president said [...]

whats their relationship? is gasoline a product of crude oil which is a fossil fuel?

In the Bush and Cheney (both oil people) years gas and oil prices soared with explanations ranging from various shipping and refinery accidents to lack of crude and lack of refining capabilities, unexpected cold weather in the North East and too many cars on the road.. There was a major effort to get added drilling [...]

Think about it, how many lard-butts are out there right now parked in a drive through at Micky D’s, yapping on their cell phones, while they’re waiting for their supersized Big Mac combo with a Diet Coke.
How many millions of gallons of gasoline and tons of exhaust would be saved or eliminated if these lazy [...]

1. Price of regular gasoline is .46
2. Price of natural gas is .04
3. Natural gas is available at most filling stations

hypothesis — Congress caused the energy crisis [oil price crisis] by denying Americans the right to produce significant added volumes of energy here at home while encouraging the economy to continue growing and thus using ever more energy.
Since the reaction to this artificial crisis has been the recent gasoline and then the government’s edict [...]

I need to do a comparative solvent test. The procedure calls for Petroleum Benzine. Is gasoline a close enough solvent?

How can we fight global warming and look for alternative gas when corn gas still needs gasoline to work? Are we going about it the wrong way? With all the mordern technology we could drill for oil and gas with out mess around with the environment. Which we should do because it would be very [...]

I have thought this from day one!! The gasoline and record high natural gas prices and oil prices I think is what really drove the world wide economy over the edge. Money had to spent on energy and not other things!

i am trying to find out what the current price of engine fuel is in Bangladesh at the moment. I know that their natural gas prices have climbed but need to know about gasoline. Thanks

i’ve been going to the same gas station for years and every time i ask for unleaded and not even a penny more! just a joke. i am not a conservative to be that illogical ! got you , didn’t i? talking about gas prices, there was no change with the demand and supply [...]

Say, Gasoline, for example. I’ve always liked that smell, but I never realized it was harmful.

Notice how crude oil goes up in price everyday. It is sold by the barrel and controls the price you and I pay for gasoline at the pump. Why don’t quarts of motor oil go up every other day as well? Why doesn’t tupperware and ziplock bags go up? They are plastics which are made [...]

I wonder about this as they are in the business of making profits. Yes, it will provide more oil/gas, BUT they’ve got to build more refineries, etc., and they are going to charge someone for that expense (us) and then make a profit off the gasoline they sell. It isn’t government owned, like [...]

Is the price of natural gas, health ways safer that gasoline???

Democrats like to attack evil American oil companies and block them from drilling the energy deposits off our coasts. It doesn’t seem to bother Democrats that China and Cuba are finalizing plans to drill for oil in these same areas 50 miles from Key West.
Pelosi in her weekly press conference called drilling a "Republican hoax."
The [...]
