We should have left our scientists alone
As most of you know, I’ve never been a fan of corn-based ethanol.
How about those diesel fuel prices?
Whenever I fuel up a vehicle these days, I automatically think about truck fleet operators.
Leave our scientists alone
I returned from the recent TMC Annual Meeting with a wealth of information about different types of biofuels and their use.
Biofuels insights from TMC
I just returned from the Technology and Maintenance Council(TMC) annual meeting in Orlando full of good ideas and useful information.
Greenhouse gas dilemma
Last month I discussed carbon footprint and some of the steps we Americans can take to reduce it. In the process of researching that column, I learned much more about greenhouse gases. Here is what I learned:

Previously (see my June 2006 column) I explained that API CJ-4 oils for 2007 and later diesel engines were a compromise requested by engine builders to enable the use of particulate traps to meet stringent emissions requirements.

Finally, sanity about renewable fuels
Until recently we’ve witnessed all sorts of knee-jerk reactions to the subject of renewable fuels.
High price of diesel isn’t going away
Fleets are painfully aware of how expensive ultra low sulfur dieselfuel is today, but what about the future?
