President George W. Bush urged Congress to overturn a 26-year ban on offshore oil drilling in the U.S. (West Florida – Gulf of Mexico) to petroleum exploration and explained that these moves would "take pressure off gas prices over time by expanding the amount of American-made oil and gasoline." John McCain made a similar appeal [...]
produces the least pollutant (eg. soot).
my calculations show that gasoline produced the least amount of soot, after burning each fuel with a wick and collecting the soot. but after reading wiki, im in doubt. can someone please clarify?
Keep in mind that OPEC and other oil-producing countries like Russia have all built refineries in order to sell oil products processed from their country’s secure supply of domestic crude oil. The exporters, OPEC and NON-OPEC all want and often insist that the Oil importing nations and Multinational OILCO’s buy their products rather than their [...]
Assuming they mean gasoline rather than natural gas, do they mean:
The retailer who probably owns just that one station, maybe 2-3?
The jobber who brings the gasoline from the wholesaler/terminal operator to the retailer?
The wholesaler/terminal operator?
The pipeline or barge operator?
The refiner?
The crude oil E+P company?
The oil services companies that lease drilling equipment and/or perform drilling services [...]
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 [...]
