According to recent studies conducted by analysts at Goldman Sachs, the price of oil in 2011 is estimated to reach $ 120 a barrel, and this figure is undoubtedly very worrying when you consider that this could compromise the whole world because of industrial activity ‘ increase the price of fuel for cars and trucks.
E ‘for a long time discussing plans to reduce the cost of using electric motors, natural gas (nb: List cars to CNG 2011) and biodiesel, but it can also be found in the highly local supermarket with prices at times very convenient.
Until a few years ago the price of diesel fuel was much cheaper than gasoline and the choice of a vehicle with a diesel engine was much more expensive than gasoline for approval. Now the situation has changed slightly, especially for a purely speculative reasons, the price of gasoline is now identical to that of gasoline.
FUEL DERIVED FROM AGRICULTURE
Some people have begun to use fuel used in agriculture, however, going to meet possible legal repercussions whereas this system is considered illegal because they evade excise duty on fuel. Then use a fuel agriculture for their car is illegal.
BIODIESEL FUEL
Secondly, there was talk of a biodiesel fuel that is derived from an organic compound, and therefore natural. Any combustion produces carbon dioxide, but if an organic compound is burned the amount is significantly lower. Biodiesel is a fuel in the true sense of the word and can be used in machines with this feature. In this case there are no legal problems. To power all cars in biodiesel in Italy would be necessary to cover the entire territory of dedicated crops for obvious reasons and this is unthinkable.
FUEL OIL RAPE
Speaking of some thought Biodiesel rapeseed oil and rapeseed oil, in fact, is a fuel of vegetable origin obtained by pressing of rapeseed, a tall plant that is about 60 cm formed by special yellow flowers are very pretty especially when viewed in large fields. The peculiarity of this oil, little used in Italian cooking, the price is very low, ie less than 70 euro cents per liter. Use canola oil in their diesel-powered car is risky both from a legal standpoint (in this case is evading taxes on fuel), both from the mechanical point of view and the engine could be damaged, especially if the latest therefore fitted with turbo. If the idea is to use rapeseed oil instead of diesel the mistake is huge. This is considered a fraud against the state. For the record, however, it is fair to say that the first diesel engines, then the old ones were designed to support vegetable oils such as corn oil, canola oil, etc.. Today more and engines must be fueled by diesel, although in terms of technology such heat engines also could easily burn vegetable oils except that significantly more viscous oil and dirt. Would it be fair then dilute the vegetable oil with diesel fuel in percentages ranging from 20 to 60.
