Proponents point to the enormous energy density of the fuel (the amount of energy contained per unit).
"With the price of fuel it's too tempting for people to say we're only producing a small amount of fuel that stays below the criteria for being a proper registered producer with all the costs and all the bureaucracy and all the burdens that brings with it, " says Jim Walker, managing director of Argent Energy.

Such measures should reduce the amount of fuel needed to produce electricity.
If we could do away with the rivets then we could save that 10% in weight and thus some large amount of fuel.
The composite materials are much lighter than traditional metal (though equally as sturdy), enabling planes to be a little larger and thus more spacious while still consuming the same amount of fuel.
For shipping, alleviating glass bottles significantly reduces the weight and the shape allows the wine to be packed more efficiently which results in a reduced amount of fuel needed to ship the wines.

According to Katharina Zellweger, the former head of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation who worked in North Korea for 15 years, there are rumors that China already has or is planning to send food aid and fuel, though the amount is unclear.
Finally, the fastest 10 cars will shoot it out for the top 10 places for the final 20 minutes - but with the amount of fuel with which they will start the race, with fuel being put back into the car after qualifying according to a pre-arranged formula.
But it said higher fuel costs were reducing the amount of money people have available to spend.
Another is that, until turbines are built to withstand 3, 000-degree steam, a fair amount of the fuel's energy is wasted.
High efficiency engines help conserve fossil fuels and reduce emissions by consuming less fuel while generating an equivalent amount of power.
Consumer Reports says it drew on research from a 2006 Entrepreneur.com article that analyzed the amount of additional fuel burned by heavy drivers.

In 2007, Congress passed legislation mandating that the nation get an increasing amount of its fuel from biofuels, to a peak of 36 billion gallons by 2022.
Here's how it works: A small amount of diesel fuel is injected into the canister, where it is mixed with a tiny bit of air and ignited by an electrical spark.
Those deep water rigs use an enormous amount of diesel fuel to turn the drill bit, and also resist the force that is turning the drill bit and would otherwise force the platform to start turning in the opposite direction.
Then researchers fan out across the forest measuring the temperature and the humidity of the air (two of the factors that determine how a fire will behave), and recording the amount of woody fuel in the forest and the moisture in that fuel.
The end result is less absolute amount of nicotine to fuel the addiction.
It would likely cost millions of dollars to equip an aircraft with the system, industry officials estimate, but Honeywell estimates fuel savings for some airplanes could amount to more than 3% annually.
Thus, using a Steve Jobs phrase, without some sort of support, even an insanely great new energy technology cannot be sold if it costs even a small amount more then fossil fuel generated energy.
And the result is less fuel and fewer emissions for the same amount of electricity generated.
