Nothing to give.


FIAT owns Case New Holland, one of the largest agricultural equipment
producers in this country.  I suppose that gives them an automatic pass on
the "investment in America" excuse.

Re: [biofuel] Thinking about buying a car?

2001-12-06 Thread Neoteric Biofuels Inc.

That's for sure.

Consider  hire delivery. No, really. There are many times I have caught
myself thinking I needed to buy something to get a job done, or own
something...when occasional use really dictates that renting or simply
hiring a service makes more sense.

(From someone who once hauled a steel tandem  trailer full of boards down
the 401 to Toronto, with a Mazda diesel...and thought about those little wee
brakes, and no trailer brakes, after under way..what a juggernaut!)

 Very dangerous. And that was on flat ground. Never again!...The Mazda, like
most little diesels, would pull anything.

 Stopping it in a hurry was going to be the problem! No joke if someone
pulls out in front of you.)

[biofuel] US drivers in SUV gas-guzzling buying spree

2001-12-06 Thread Keith Addison

http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/13620/story.htm
Planet Ark Environmental News:
US drivers in SUV gas-guzzling buying spree

USA: December 7, 2001

NEW YORK - U.S. drivers are buying gasoline at a feverish clip 
despite the nation's recession, due largely to low pump prices and an 
autumn buying rush for gas-guzzling SUVs, analysts said this week.

"Americans are driving more in less-efficient vehicles," automobile 
expert Mike Lucky of John S. Herold Inc. said. "Sales of SUVs and 
pickup trucks have been amazingly strong considering the recession, 
and low pump prices are keeping people on the roads."

Gasoline consumption for November averaged about 8.6 million barrels 
per day, up nearly 3 percent from last year, according to the 
American Petroleum Institute (API), despite a recession.

The robust gasoline demand comes amid a steep drop in retail pump 
prices to two-year lows of $1.12 a gallon and amid a dramatic 
increase in sales of sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks - some 
of the least fuel-efficient automobiles on the market.

Bargain financing deals by big automakers have helped push sales of 
SUVs and light pickup trucks 13.7 percent higher than last year for 
the month of November, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. 
Meanwhile, half of the 20 best-selling automobiles so far this year 
have been trucks or SUVs, including the mammoth GMC Sierra and Dodge 
Ram pickup, according to data reported by automakers.

"The rate of purchase for new fuel inefficient vehicles is far 
outpacing the rate of retirement for older automobiles," said Lucky. 
According to the Federal Highway Administration, the number of 
vehicles on the road grew by 5.2 million between 1999 and 2000.

In October, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that 
Americans' love affair with gas-guzzling SUVs reduced the average 
fuel mileage of all 2001 model year vehicles to 20.4 miles per 
gallon, the lowest in two decades.

The trend could become a curse to the the nation's energy 
infrastructure, which over the past two years struggled desperately 
to overcome regional fuel shortages due to refinery and pipeline 
outages.

"The lowest fuel economy since 1980 can be attributed to the increase 
in light trucks on America's roads," the EPA said in a statement. 
"Light trucks are less fuel efficient."

The current Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, first adopted 
by Congress in 1975 after the Arab oil embargo, require passenger 
cars to average 27.5 miles per gallon and light trucks to average 
20.7 mpg.

At the time, light trucks were allowed to get lower mileage because 
they were used mostly by farmers and small businesses.

If auto manufacturers increased fuel economy by as little as three 
miles per gallon, consumers would save as much as $25 billion a year 
in fuel costs, the EPA said.

That modest increase in fuel efficiency, the agency said, would also 
reduce 140 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year and 
cut the United States' reliance on foreign oil by 1 million barrels 
of oil each day - a boon as heightened tensions in the Mideast raise 
fears of a disruption in crude supply.

Senate Democrats introduced a broad energy bill this week that seeks, 
in part, to boost vehicle fuel efficiency but said that any change 
could not take effect until the 2004 model year is introduced.

The legislation does not set specific fuel mileage requirements for 
vehicles. That language will be added to the bill after the Senate 
Commerce Committee approves a new standard, they said.

[biofuel] US fuel standard can't be raised until 2004 models

2001-12-06 Thread Keith Addison

Planet Ark Environmental News:
US fuel standard can't be raised until 2004 models

USA: December 7, 2001

WASHINGTON - While Senate Democrats want to boost federal fuel 
mileage requirements for passengers cars and sport utility vehicles, 
any change could not take effect until the 2004 model year is 
introduced, at the earliest.

Senate Democrats introduced a broad energy bill this week that seeks, 
in part, to boost vehicle fuel efficiency. Separately, the 
Transportation Department will soon begin reviewing whether to raise 
fuel requirements.

Current law requires the Transportation Department to notify 
automakers of changes in fuel standards at least 18 months before the 
start of a new model year.

With new vehicles traditionally introduced Oct. 1, the first model 
year that could reflect any change in fuel standards would be 2004, 
which will be in showrooms in October 2003. The government would have 
to notify automakers of that change by April 2002.

The Senate Democrats' legislation does not set specific fuel mileage 
requirements for vehicles. That language will be added to the bill 
after the Senate Commerce Committee approves a new standard, they 
said.

The Senate committee is due to launch that process yesterday with a 
hearing on vehicle fuel efficiency. Gasoline demand accounts for more 
than 40 percent of U.S. petroleum use.

A draft of the Senate bill circulated earlier among lawmakers 
included a provision, which was later removed, that would have 
required the fuel efficiency of automobiles built between 2007 and 
2010 be raised to 36 miles per gallon while boosting the standard for 
light trucks to 27.5 mpg.

The current Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, adopted by 
Congress in 1975 after the Arab oil embargo, require passenger cars 
to get an average 27.5 miles per gallon and light trucks to get 20.7 
mpg.

At the time, light trucks were allowed to get lower mileage because 
they were used mostly by farmers and small businesses. Now, sport 
utility vehicles and other light trucks account for half of U.S. 
vehicle sales.

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, Democrat of South Dakota, said 
this week he favors closing the SUV loophole.

Bob,

One person I can think of is Russ Teall at Biodiesel
Industries.  His email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm curious to know what you found from the businesses
you contacted.  How much did they want for their
plans?  Were they willing to sell designs outright or
were they interested in joint ventures.

Best,

Thor Skov

Re: [biofuel] Thinking about buying a car?

2001-12-06 Thread Jean-Leon Morin

Well,

I must admit, a Deuce is a little extreme, but I'd sure as heck call that a
truck. Although it is a little extreme for daily use.

I must stress the fact that I'm not some tobacco chewing redneck that drives
a lifted chrome plated chevy. I'm not simply sitting on my porch yelling
that they "aint what the' used ta be grumbl bruml". I see some serious and
protentially disastrous concequences with how the planet is leaning towards
heavy, heavy vehicles that exude an "image".

On the other hand, I do not own an economy car. I don't plan to. I would
kill an economy car, and it would kill me. I view a 600 lbs Lincoln gas
powered welder as carry-on luggage, and my truck doesn't seem to mind. I
have been known to pull 20 000 lbs around a yard with it in low range. Again
not much fuss.

Oh, did I mention it came from the factory with 77 horsepower, 35 years ago?

2001-12-06 Thread Jean-Leon Morin

> too bad vw doesn't make anything I can put 1000 lbs of cargo in. I'll buy
> the Ford thanks.

Hmm. A trailer, maybe? I've pulled 2000 lbs of gravel with a Golf. It was a
B$%$# to get it moving, but I only needed to do this a couple of times, so
it wasn't worth getting a 3$ pile of junk pickup.

The lame-est clause of them all. I need a truck because I haul a lot of
stuff. Right. You and every guy driving powerstroke fords, and cummins
dodges.

Of course, if you are one of the 2% of pickup truck drivers that actually
use their vehicles and load them to capacity ON A REGULAR BASIS, the comment
is cordially withdrawn. I would however be interested in hearing your
service history for the vehicle...

Your brand new US pickup will beat itself to death with a half ton in the
box. That nice big diesel three quarter ton truck will die a horrible death
if you actually work if for what it's "designed for". Most people who spend
30K on a new truck, expecting it to work hard, get nasty surprises... I
spend enough time getting yelled at by fleet managers and owners who can't
believe their new Dodges need another front end rebuild.

The front end, suspension, body, chassis, and most of the driveline on these
vehicles are built TO FAIL. They have all sorts of built in deficiencies
that make them simply let go so you pay for servicing. Of course, the axles
look big. The chassis looks strong. They can tow a lot of weight. But
underneath they are as much of a cash cow as a Dodge Neon or a Cavalier.
Built to fail, to make bucks for the auto service industry.

Now, if you'd like me to name some real vehicles, I can definitely do so.
Unfortunately most of these companies have since gone the way of the
dodo-bird, or have gone upscale, building 4x4 SUV's for rich moms and dads.
Building trucks that last is bad business practice.

Even highway rigs are getting to this point - built in inefficiencies.
Lighter weight. Computers. What everyone from fleet managers to the average
joe needs to realise is that one teardown or repair to fix problems with
these built in innefficiencies costs more than to pay the extra 5% fuel cost
over the life of the vehicle.

Plus, the environmental cost of building a whole vehicle to replace an old
one (which would simply need to be rebuilt and repaired) is incredible. If
cars were built to last and be serviced, they would be easy to keep going.
However, a larger idea prevails - gouging you for all you've got.

I admit a VW is about as useless a vehicle as a Ford Mustang for someone who
needs a truck. But then again, you can't BUY a truck anymore. You have to
build it as all the "trucks" have long ago left the market, having been
replaced by luxo-utes with thin tin boxes bolted on to the frame, and most
people don't need a Ford F250, they simply have to figure out that driving a
big empty pickup is a sign of stupidity, not coolness.

Or ,what you could do is NOT buy a diesel powerstroke. Boycott american

Then you'd be helping the environment.  By buying a fat, large, stupidly

But keep in mind, Honda builds all of their US market cars over here. 
Of 96% or so US parts.  In fact they build so many cars over here that
they are a net exporter.  In doing this they keep many thousands of
Americans employed, and add much to our economy.  Not to mention their
