Gascoyne shrugged off those observers who had said Renault had only achieved qualifying positions of third and fourth, with Alonso ahead of Jarno Trulli, by running the cars light on fuel.

It said it would, however, continue building the light-weight fuel-efficient plane.
The report projects that by 2040, alternative fuel vehicles will consume about 13.7% of our light-duty vehicle fuel.
Other creative opportunities being explored include natural gas pumps (hooked up to the home) to fuel natural gas vehicles, and light duty vehicles relying on fuel cells (which manufacturers hope to begin building by 2015).
This year the concept cars of interest are environmentally friendly, light-weight, fuel-efficient, compact, and incredibly fast.
Responsible individuals across our country are taking action by using low-energy light bulbs, purchasing fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles, and trying to live their own lives more sustainably.
You can also buy a car that shuts down one or more engine cylinders when it is coasting, or cruising under a light load, reducing fuel consumption without sacrificing performance.
FORBES: 10 Ways Automakers Are Helping You Spend Less On Gasoline

The yardmaster assumed he was saving the company money by not using a crew and fuel to run a light train.
The rising use of aluminum in passenger cars and light trucks comes because of rising fuel-efficiency standards in the U.S., he said.

They are the fingers and eyes and noses of the computer, bringing the world (be it a car crash, pressure in a fuel line, or light in a fiber-optic network) into the boxed, insular space that sits quietly on desktops.
Let's say you work in the U.S. auto industry, which for years has banked on large, fuel-hungry SUVs and light trucks.
The growth sector for the last quarter century has been light trucks, a category in which fuel efficiency has deteriorated over time.
Which allows them to extract plutonium from the fuel rods used in the light water reactor, the second one that was finished in 1998.
C. to announce the next round of a coordinated national program to improve fuel efficiency for cars and light-duty trucks for model years 2017 to 2025.
On the list: an ambitious plan to increase ethanol and biofuel production, and a distinction between fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks.
From 2006 to 2010 the average fuel economy of new cars and light trucks rose from 25.8 miles per gallon of petrol to 29.2.
And over the next five years, we expect fuel efficiency standards in cars and light trucks to reach an average of 35.5 miles per gallon.
Key parts of the bill include new fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks, and new requirements to increase the use of ethanol and other biofuels.
In other words, conventional fuel (gasoline and diesel) light-duty vehicles will be with us for many years to come, exhaling pollutants and making the world a dirtier place.
The earnings calendar remains light today, with notable reports arriving from Fuel- Tech (FTEK), United National Foods ( UNFI), AeroVironment ( AVAV), Metabolix (MBLX), and Pandora Media (P).
