Increasing Fuel Efficiency

The Benefits Of Increasing Fuel Efficiency

There are many reasons why improving the fuel we use every day for heating, driving and powering our homes is a good idea. It does not take a rocket scientist to determine th at making our fuel better and more efficient is beneficial not just for people, but also the environment.

Fuel Efficiency Promotes Innovation

Having standards for increased fuel efficiency promotes innovation in science, t echnology and engineering. It is a major motivation for engineers, scientists and invent ors. If new legislation is passed that will require our cars to have higher gas mileage or our appliances to u se less electricity, you can be sure that teams of engineers, scientists and inventors will try and figure out a way to make our cars and appliances better. It can also lead to innovations in actual fuel sourc es. For example cars are now powered not only by oil, but by biodiesel, ethanol, electricit y and mixtures of different substances.

More Efficient Fuels Save People Money and Stimulates the Economy

Making the fuels we use everyday more efficient is good for our economy. Wit h more efficient fuels people will get more bang for their buck. Whether fuel is used for heating, co oking, powering appliances or motor vehicles, increased fuel economy will save people money on vit al expenses. This will leave people more money to spend on other things, resulting in an economic growth and stimulation in other sectors.
A Cleaner Environment is a Major Benefit of Increased Fuel Efficiency

One of the most touted benefits of increased fuel efficiency is a cleaner environment. When people use less fuel whether it is gas, oil or electricity less pollution is created. Th is means that less waste is dumped into our rivers and lakes and less smog is released into the air. Water and air qu ality can improve significantly from more efficient fuels. More efficient fuels also mean that less resou rces are consumed, and more resources are conserved and available for future generation use.
Improving Fuel Efficiency Promotes Sustainable Economic Growth and Energy Security

Our modern day economy is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as oil and n atural gas. By getting more out of the fossil fuels we use everyday, we can become less dependent on foreign sources of oil and become more energy independent. Becoming more fuel efficient has also lead to d evelopments in sustainable energy such as solar, hydro and nuclear as alternatives to fossil fuels.
