The Chinese love Ford's product line: they love the quality, the fuel-efficiency, the safety, the brand.
My plane is a Premiere; it has very efficient gas turbine engines. It goes very fast on relatively little fuel. Flying has been my passion since I was a kid.
Unlike fuel-economy standards, the most common method of reducing demand for oil over the past thirty years, a gas tax doesn't tell people what kind of car to drive. It simply raises the price of gasoline and lets people adjust their behavior accordingly.
Trains are not any more energy efficient than the average automobile, with both getting about 48 passenger miles to the gallon.
There isn't enough renewable fuel in the world to crack our growing addiction to foreign oil. We need to decrease miles driven and increase engine efficiency.
I really haven't been cognitive of gas prices. It wasn't until I filled up my husband's Toyota Prius Hybrid that I had a moment of understanding of how people who drive gas cars feel.
Fifteen states across the country have gas prices that have dipped below $2. That means it's now cheaper to buy a gallon of liquefied dinosaurs than one cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say that what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down.
Today, you get better performance from a Ford Focus than a Ferrari from the mid-70s. [The Focus] is just as fast and with better fuel economy. It's fun to see supercar technology trickle down to everyday cars.
Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.
The world is hung up on food-based biofuels. Not only are they the wrong thing, they're the uneconomic thing.
If Europe’s example is any guide, here are the two secrets of coping with expensive oil: own fuel-efficient cars, and don’t drive them too much.
We have to use cars much more efficiently. We have to look at alternative technologies of cars such as biofuels or, even more importantly, electric cars.
But we must take other steps, such as increasing conservation, developing an ethanol industry, and increasing CAFE standards if we are to make our country safer by cutting our reliance on foreign oil.
We don't need a fuel that's cleaner, we need a fuel that happens to be cleaner, but is half the price of oil.
Automobile efficiency is the ballgame of energy security of the country.
The problem is, is that President Bush and the Republican leadership in the Congress have resisted attempts to increase dramatically our fuel economy standards over the last five years.
In my personal belief, the big problem with climate change is getting people to understand the magnitude and scale that we're dealing with. If you buy a vehicle that gets 35 miles to the gallon, that means nothing; it's not enough. We need to make changes across society and in every piece of the energy pie.
The whole purpose of CAFE standards is to make cars more efficient that people are actually buying.
Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second.
I don't see anything changing about our desire for quality and fuel efficiency and safety and smart design, no matter what the vehicle size.
Having one national standard for mpg and CO2 is extremely important.
The only way people are going to change their car buying habits, and the only way government will get behind alternatively fueled vehicles, is if gasoline prices continue to go up.
Drilling in the Refuge is completely unnecessary when we could improve the average fuel economy of cars, minivans and SUV's by just 3 miles a gallon and save more oil within 10 years than we could ever produce from the Arctic Refuge.
