These cars can burn fuel that is 85 percent ethanol and the companies are putting more of them on the market.
The X-43A, or "Hyper-X" was built specifically to test scramjets, or supersonic ramjets, which burn fuel in air travelling at supersonic speeds.
Second, nuclear reactors can only be run above maximum capacity for a short period before they begin experiencing complications, so each region maintains backup facilities to burn fuel oil or natural gas at peak periods or for when the nuclear reactors are offline.
Last year, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs decided that the link between air-borne dioxin (an ingredient in Agent Orange, and also a common air-borne pollutant emitted by waste incineration, some chemical manufacturing processes, cars and trucks, and other industrial sources that burn fuel) and diabetes was so strong, it compensated 270, 000 veterans for diabetes linked to dioxin exposure.

It's their reward for building these alternative-fuel vehicles, even though the vehicles themselves rarely actually burn alternative fuel.
And he carried out an election pledge to cut value-added tax on domestic fuel from 8% to 5%, which may help pensioners but will also help everyone else to burn more fuel.
Yes I have seen the advocacy for Liquid Fluoride Thorium reactors and there are some apparent tantalizing advantages over current Uranium reactor designs like ability to burn plutonium as a starter fuel, less production of transuranics, higher fuel burn efficiencies, etc.
Attempts to burn its fuel oil failed, even causing it to break in two.
But the statistics offer little cheer to a government trying to persuade its citizens to burn less fuel.
The only way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to burn less fuel.
Since it can burn any fuel, the generator could also be of interest to semi-permanent military bases, Williams says.
Ingesting this slower air allows an engine to burn its fuel more efficiently while generating the same amount of thrust.
At about 22 cents per gallon, users who burn more fuel or who travel farther pay more, which makes perfect sense.
FORBES: House Commitee Chairman Says A New Aviation User Fee Is Asking Too Much
Less than 0.1% of vehicles on American roads burn the fuel today and the percentage sagged slightly from 2005 to 2010, when federal policies encouraging their use waned.
Mr. JOHN URBANCHUK (Agricultural Economist): So much of everything that we American consumers consume really spends a lot of time on the highway in trucks that burn diesel fuel.
This means they do not have to carry liquid oxygen (or some other oxidant) to burn their fuel, and could thus use the weight saved to carry a bigger payload.
These either burn fossil fuel and thus contribute to global warming, or use uranium, which brings problems such as how to get rid of the waste, as well as political opposition.
And the difference between a machine-made hull and one shaped by Saito is significant: with the right curve, a boat will glide through the sea with less resistance and burn less fuel.
At present, says Dr Demkowicz, reactors burn only around 1% of their fuel, so even a modest increase in fuel burn would leave less radioactive waste.
Boeing claims the 7E7 would cut fuel burn by 20 percent over current aircraft and save airlines 10 percent on overall operating costs, citing new, fuel-sipping engines and lightweight materials that will also cut maintenance costs.
On that fuel burn, we saw 320 knots of true airspeed, or 368 miles per hour.
High (and expensive) fuel burn has always been seen as the main obstacle to such performance.
We fine-tuned models so that our fleet would fly the least distance and burn the least fuel.
Cap-and-dividend would set a price on carbon, thus giving Americans a powerful incentive to burn less dirty fuel.
ECONOMIST: Maria Cantwell and the politics of global warming
At that fuel burn we saw 320 knots of true airspeed, or 368mph.
The added weight of 1 person does add to our fuel burn, especially on flights 5 hrs or more to Hawaii.
FORBES: Connecting marketers to the Forbes audience. What is this?
But in 1999, Aviation Partners showed in test flights that its devices cut fuel burn, and the companies formed their joint venture.
With a fuel burn 30% less than a typical light jet and a cruise speed of more than 345 mph, the King Air 250 really zips along.
FORBES: The Most Successful Aircraft Design Gets Even Better
If it worked the new engines would cut fuel burn by more than 15% compared with competing turbojets and produce half the noise, allowing airlines to push more flights through urban airports.
