Gasoline

China's extremely rapid adoption of EVs has forced oil giant Sinopec to adjust its forecasts, saying peak domestic gasoline demand has already passed and it's all downhill from here. The repercussions will be global.

A team of engineers at MIT has developed a cheaper UAV design that has the ability to stay aloft for up to five days at low-altitudes on a single tank of gasoline, potentially offering communications support in areas struck by natural disasters.

What does it take for a quadcopter to carry a 10-kg (22-lb) payload and fly for three hours straight? It takes petrol power - and a clever variable pitch rotor system that makes this gas-powered drone just as stable, quick and responsive as its electric brethren.

The piston skirt and pin account for about 17 percent of the frictional loss in a combustion engine as they are the most difficult to keep lubricated and have the largest contact surfaces. Federal-Mogul has announced two new-generation coatings designed to greatly to reduce this friction.

Five years ago, we first heard about a diesel engine that had been modified to run on an unlikely-sounding mixture of diesel and gasoline. Now, its creators have installed another diesel/gas engine in a 2009 Saturn.

Keeping a jerry can of gasoline in your car may help if you run out of fuel, but it's also highly dangerous and is therefore illegal in most places. According to the Makers of Magic Tank Emergency Fuel, their product is the safe – and legal – alternative to packing a jug of gas.

Extra Fuel is an alternative to conventional gasoline that will run any petrol engine, yet is safe to take along in case of emergencies.

Cadillac's capless fuel system gets rid of the screw-in fuel cap but maintains proper sealing.

Despite the U.S.’s purported desire to wean itself off the teat of foreign oil a new study from automotive data provider, JATO Dynamics, reports that the U.S. car market is still almost twice as polluting as Europe and Japan.

Mazda will debut its next-generation ‘SKY-G’ and ‘SKY-D’ engine line-up, along with its new ‘SKY-Drive’ automatic transmission, which are designed to improve fuel economy without sacrificing performance, at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have developed a diesel-gasoline engine cocktail that improves economy and emissions, and could save the U.S. 4 million barrels of oil a day.
