"Clean Fuels: An Overview" Questions
1. Higher vehicle and fuel costs and a lower vehicle range are two common disadvantages of switching to "clean" fuels.
2. Lower omission of pollutants and proven excellent fuel for vehicles are the two most common advantages of switching to "clean" fuels.
3. It is feasible, but there are a lot of things that have to happen before this will occur. Technology must be refined to achieve maximum performance, and consumers must accept the new vehicles and fuels. The article basically states that it will be a challenge, but it is possible.
"Alternative Fuels"
4. Electricity N/A; No. 2 diesel 8 to 15; Biodiesel 25; Gasoline 86 to 94; Ethanol 100; Methanol 100; Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) 104; CNG 120+; LNG 120+; and Hydrogen 130
5. Ethanol(E85) can be used for light-duty vehicles, medium and heavy-duty trucks and busses.
6. No. 2 Diesel @ 128000-130000; Biodiesel @117000-120000; Gasoline @ 109000-125000; LPG @84000; ethanol @ 80000; LNG @ 73500; Methanol @ 56000-66000; and CNG @ 33000-38000
