Fuel Quotations | Page 3

This provides yet more evidence that speed cameras are being used as a stealth tax to raise money from hard pressed motorists at a time of soaring fuel prices.

This proposal from the Bank does not suggest a strong ambition to re-direct financing away from existing fossil fuel patterns, or to deliver sustainable energy to the two billion people currently without.

This project demonstrates the value of combining energy efficiency and clean energy technology. The savings created by new, efficient equipment at these facilities are helping to pay for clean, alternative energy - solar and hydrogen fuel cell power. We commend the Postal Service for implementing a comprehensive, cost-effective solution that meets operating needs, improves the employees' work space and benefits the environment.

Choosing the most fuel-efficient vehicles within a class can save drivers at least $1,500 in fuel costs and avoid more than 15 tons of greenhouse gas pollution over the life of the vehicle, as well as help reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Its operation in a world beset by fuel and energy crises makes no sense at all.

The answer is to end our reliance on carbon-based fuels... If we succeed, we create booming new industries, wealth, clean secure energy and maybe we prevent the greatest disaster so far in human history, saving millions of lives while improving billions more. If we fail, basically it's business as usual while things slowly get worse all around us.

Once the renewable infrastructure is built, the fuel is free forever. Unlike carbon-based fuels, the wind and the sun and the earth itself provide fuel that is free, in amounts that are effectively limitless.

Trees and soils can absorb carbon dioxide released by fossil fuel burning. It would be great to subsidize responsible farmers and forest managers.

Giving is what fuels us. Giving is our future.

When I began my career as a flight attendant, I was a 21-year-old with a B.A. in English and stars in her eyes. I wanted to see every city in the world. I wanted to have adventures that, I hoped, would fuel a writing career some day.

The sunshine that strikes American roads each year contains more energy than all the fossil fuels used by the entire world.

The price of fuel right now is affecting us just like it affects every other American, ... It affects our teams, fans and all of us who drive cars to and from work.

The price of fuel has just gotten out of hand.

The price of energy is driving everything up. Businesses are paying so much more for fuel and even plastics. It's (one reason) why we don't see lower prices.

We were both disappointed in the results. We know that we are capable of getting better, and that will be fuel for us in the upcoming races and the next Olympics.

The plantations in the Hilo district enjoy special advantages, for by turning some of the innumerable mountain streams into flumes, the owners can bring a great part of their cane and all their wood for fuel down to the mills without other expense than the original cost of the woodwork.

We?re glad they?re there because they really help us. They throw fuel in the fire for us.

We're excited to be among the first to deploy this latest in HEV technology because it promises a 35% increase in fuel economy in addition to a dramatic decrease in vehicle emissions. UPS has been involved in HEV research for more than eight years, but that's just one part of a multifaceted strategy to reduce fuel dependency, cut greenhouse emissions and in the long run, reduce operating costs.

We're not disputing the fact that it is power intensive, but you get a transportation fuel which is needed in our economy. So for what you give up you get a lot out.

Like any brand-new statewide program, there are details that have to be worked out, and that's what is going on right now. We're very happy that we were able to get this program started ... and available to seniors and lower-income Vermonters to make sure they have enough fuel to heat their homes this winter.

Like everyone else, the school system will have to deal with increased utility costs. We already are running with a deficit from fuel oil for this year's budget.

Making bottles to meet Americans' demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel some 100,000 U.S. cars for a year.

Lots and lots of things are happening that indicate a worldwide interest, and most of the knowledgeable people are convinced that the next-generation replacement for the internal combustion engine is going to be a fuel cell.

Louisiana has sacrificed its coastline so those people in North Dakota can have fuel oil, so they can drive their vehicles.

Last year was horrific. We don't have the rocket fuel right now to lift us to the next level, but things are genuinely happening, and some of these shows are definitely moving in the right direction.

Last year was a massive year for holiday travel. The summer kept going in that direction, and we have the same expectation for this year despite fuel costs. If you wait until November, I think you run the risk of not getting what you want or paying a whole lot more to get what you want.

Last year's fuel price run-up and Middle East crises may have not only hurt American drivers' pocketbooks but also caused them to feel guilty about operating large, gas-only vehicles. Ethanol power not only allows owners to enjoy large vehicles, but it can also let them feel good about the domestic agricultural economy, American energy independence and the environment.

Many people feel if regular is good than premium must be better, ... and that's not the case. Due to advertising, a lot of people think premium fuel is better fuel, when in actuality it simply has a higher octane rating.

Several things outside of agriculture will affect the outlook. Interest rates, fuel and fertilizer costs, and other expenses will continue to rise.

Seasonally, that's the right time to do it. Winter in the airline business is long and cold, and, with these fuel prices, it will be especially long and especially cold this year.

Sen. Graham is one of the nation's leading advocates for hydrogen and fuel cell research,

So far, the testing is going very well. The performance has been good, and fuel mileage has been comparable to the 2002 engines.

On an available-seat-mile basis, our fuel expense was 11.9 per cent higher in the first quarter of 2006 versus the same period in 2005. We managed to mitigate this expense with the early retirement of our less fuel-efficient 200-series aircraft.

On 23-24 December, the DPRK cut most of the seals and impeded the functioning of surveillance equipment installed at both the fuel rod fabrication plant and the reprocessing facility,

Some crew chief has to be the best. In Top Fuel it's obviously Alan Johnson. I compare it to chess. We all basically have the same pieces and play on the same board, but some guys are just better than others. I can't give you an answer why and I bet Alan can't either. It's just the way it is. He's very expensive, but worth every penny.

Some $25 billion in capital is being deployed on the Strip. We think that is going to put fuel on the fire of economic expansion.

Some of my favorite films are musicals, like 'Walk the Line,' 'The Rose' and 'Lady Sings the Blues.' I just love the way the music and the story fuel each other.

Significant improvements in pricing, particularly for our North American brands, more than compensated for increases in fuel costs.

Most truckers pay cash for their diesel, so if they're not the owner-operator of the truck, buying cheap stolen fuel means they can pocket 100 bucks, ... Sure, we used to see theft, but it's definitely increasing as fuel prices go up. Now it's all the time.

Most of the time, ethanol-blended fuel is usually a couple of cents or as much as five cents to eight cents less.

Most of the smuggling incidents of fuel take place through the river routes and the government should direct the distributing companies to stop supplying the items through these routes.

Mobile technology is the way forward. The costs are not overwhelming and the benefits are substantial. When we looked at how much time it would save our engineers and how much we'd save in administration, travel and fuel bills, it was clear that the advantages greatly outweighed the costs.

Motorists might seen prices stabilize over the next week or two, but that could only be a temporary pause. Upward pressure on gas prices will increase in February due to reduced production as refineries rush to finish the changeover from producing winter grade to summer grade fuel before the March 1 deadline.

My inspiration comes from so many things, it is hard to give credit to one. I find music of all kinds to be a great inspiration. A melody or a lyric can fire my imagination. Exercise is another. Endorphins fuel my thoughts - I tend to work out scenes and dialogue when I am exercising. Reading is also a great inspiration.

My first car was an '84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn't good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don't do that. Do it on concrete.

Nelson brought us to Texas. And now we're going to use cotton seed oil or used cooking oil to produce two million gallons of fuel for this community. Every community will experiment with what works best in their community. Cotton can't be grown in all areas, but the local farmers know what grows best and they can rotate their crops to reduce the need for pesticides.

One possibility to resolve the issue could be the establishment of a regional consortium on fuel cycle development.

One possibility for the future is using waste cardboard from the community to run the boiler. Taking cardboard from the area and recycling it into fuel would be a win-win situation for everybody involved.

One key aspect of the fuel is its low smog formation.

Obviously, with the Nasdaq leading losses, Texas Instruments' problems are bleeding through to the rest of the tape. It was just enough negativity to push us over the edge and fuel some of this profit-taking we're seeig here.

Of continued concern will be high gas prices and a housing market that is slowing down considerably. But so far consumers have not turned negative, and their positive sentiment is helping fuel the economy.

Non-essential travel will be ended, idling of vehicles will be limited as much as possible and air conditioning will not be used, ... The point of all these things is to have some measurable impact in the amount of gasoline and diesel fuel consumed by city vehicles.

Music is not some stuffy college lecture, ... On a good day, Rage Against the Machine is not able to just rock you like a hurricane, but also to fuel the engine with indignation and the band's activist convictions.

Moreover, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on fuel supplies and refinery capacity will only ensure that relief will not come soon.

My guess is, now, there's going to be an increase. Our concern right now, though, is availability, first and foremost, ... I just anticipate this storm is going to have a devastating impact on fuel supplies.

Maybe it's because we have two oil men in the White House who don't seem to have the sensitivity of understanding the nature of these energy impacts upon the American people, both in gas prices and as we look forward to the upcoming winter season in terms of home heating fuel costs as well,

No other factors have changed all that much, so we believe fuel cost is playing a big part in this.

Natural gas production in the U.S is still not back up to 100 percent, and gas is the most commonly used heating fuel in the U.S,

Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them.

Obviously, this is going to add to that. This is something where farmers have very little opportunity to do alternative things. They end up generally eating the higher fuel costs.

Obviously that helps fuel the fire a little bit. But you move on.

No business model at any airline can sustain such a rapid increase in fuel prices,

Revenues and net income for the quarter were negatively impacted primarily by lower motor home deliveries as a result of lower consumer confidence, which in our opinion is due mainly to the increase in fuel prices.

Right now at Golden Sun, we have the ability to store 10,000 gallons of fuel, ... We have been working with Golden Sun and they are going to install a second 10,000 gallon tank so that we have the capacity to store more fuel when the market is either in a position where we want to take advantage of the price or if supply lines start to become tight.

People won't pay exclusively for fuel economy. The way to get this car to market is to make trade-offs to get it close to the point where people will pay for it.

People won't pay exclusively for fuel economy, ... The way to get this car to market is to make trade-offs to get it close to the point where people will pay for it.

People who buy hybrids also want to support the innovative technology to spur a technological answer to the challenge of high fuel prices and dependence on foreign oil.

My team heard that and took it personally. We needed fuel and that was it.

Nevertheless, Wyoming legislators will continue to explore other methods of providing support to victims of the hurricane, the Wright tornado and our residents who will be paying higher fuel and energy costs,

Only one measure has ever stopped the growth of foreign oil imports and helped the Big Three auto makers stave off foreign competition: increased fuel efficiency standards for American-made cars.

One of the reasons for having two engines is so you can have two almost totally independent systems -- separate fuel feeds, separate ignition systems -- just as kind of a backup, ... So the chances of two of them failing simultaneously makes us very curious about the cause.

I was so tight standing up so early in the race that I was just having a hard time, ... As we freed up and got rid of some fuel I was a little better but I was still too tight.

I would argue that using our software, all things being equal like in NASCAR, our software would give you an edge that could be 10 to 20 percent advantage over the other drivers either in fuel efficiency or in top speed.

I guess I'll just have to stop more frequently to get fuel little by little.

I guess I felt I was lucky because history just happened to hand me all these empty niches, and it did fuel me. It is always exciting when you tap into some new subject matter.

If we had fuel at the price it was three years ago, we would have had probably record operating profits in the first and second quarters of the year. That's how much fuel has impacted Delta.

If we're serious about making ethanol a viable fuel source, we must ensure that consumers have access to it at the pump.

If we do have oil prices at this level for another week or so, it's going to make investors reconsider the whole outlook for consumer demand, which of course has been the real fuel for the economy.

If there were, theoretically, a lot of high obstacles nearby, we would have to reduce the weight of our airplanes in hot weather. We'd reduce fuel (and) cargo first, and try to do passengers last. But it would affect our operations.

If they had the tire situation totally worked out, we wouldn't have to use the small fuel cells. I am concerned because I crashed hard there last year and I definitely don't want to do that again. The place is really fast and you don't want to have any problems. The most important thing is being safe.

If they think they can fly through this (high fuel costs) they're kidding themselves.

If this Russia/Ukraine problem reduces natural gas to Europe there will be some fuel switching there. Higher demand in could Europe drive up crude prices worldwide.

If we come into the race with the idea that we have to do everything we can to save fuel, there will be 36 cautions and fuel will be irrelevant,

I have heard from one Colorado farmer in Kit Carson County who has estimated that in order to harvest this year, he will need an additional $46,000 to cover fuel costs alone,

I am losing $2,600 a week on fuel that used to go toward my profit,

I believe that suspending Nevada's fuel tax is worth considering, which is why I am looking into similar action today at the federal level,

I believe that this segment is growing because it offers people vehicles that are fuel efficient but allow people to have more space.

I became lecturer in the Fuel Chemistry Department of Kyoto Imperial University in 1943, assistant professor in 1945, and professor in 1951.

Carelessness with debris burning is a leading cause of wildfires in Mississippi. Windy conditions increase the number of fires, size of fires and their intensity. Frost has killed grass and weeds, making this vegetation a fuel source for fires in addition to limbs, leaves and other vegetative debris in woods and on undeveloped property.

Carbon brakes offer the same stopping performance as steel brakes but with the added benefit of a significant weight savings, which ultimately increases fuel efficiency. Next-Generation 737s are already lighter than competing Airbus models. This structural efficiency is a fundamental reason why Next-Generation 737s fly farther, higher and with better fuel efficiency than the competition.

But we will need more funds, and heightened international cooperation, to finish the job. ... We hope there will be universal participation in this. By not only returning fuel from our own country (but also Russia's), we hope to set an example others will follow.

But it was the 39 percent rise in jet fuel costs in the last month alone that pushed us to make this decision.

Building on the results of two in-depth studies by Next Energy and the S.C. hydrogen coalition, we are ready to build on the hydrogen and fuel cell foundations which already exist in our state.

Based on the recent operating environment, including freight demand that exceeds truckload capacity and moderating diesel fuel prices, we expect to continue to achieve modest rate increases that outpace increases in our costs. Our intermediate term goal remains an operating ratio of 90 percent or better.

Batteries are a necessary part of hybrid electric-gasoline powered vehicles and someday, when the technology matures, will be part of hybrid electric-hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles.

Basically, the factors are external. Whatever our policy is, things will be like this as long as we don't reduce our fuel demand continuously.

Because they could not determine when they were going to be clear to land, it made no sense to continue circling the airport with storms in the area. It wasn't an issue of the fuel being out or low.

China's market is the most compelling case for fuel cells. No one needs it more than China. Its auto industry is growing at a very hot pace.

I have a lot of confidence in this car, ... The first couple of laps we were a little bit tight, but that's normal with the heavy fuel load at the start. As the fuel burned off, the car kept getting better.

I feel the rally has stalled amid disappointment about progress in the war, but Bush is right, the allies will be victorious, and that will provide more fuel for the market to advance from a purely sentiment point of view rather than on fundamentals.
