Helen and I are confident that by implementing some simple driving tips for fuel efficiency and using Shell's most advanced fuel, we will be successful in setting a strong record.

Greener Miles is just one piece of our comprehensive strategy on climate change. It is not a substitute for our continuing work on vehicle fuel efficiency. It does provide an incremental, short term action to help bridge the gap until we are able to implement longer term solutions. And it allows individuals to take positive, direct action now to share in the solution.

Harvest is a time of high energy use to fuel tractors and combines and that hits right at the bottom line. Prices (of grain) are a bit low and as we have fewer exports then prices may drop some more so farmers are caught in a real price cost squeeze.

Gwen has a very complicated, artistic temperament. It's intense, but she's OK with it. She's learned to let it fuel her artistic life.

There are still hundreds of millions, billions of people living in abject poverty around the world. They need electricity. They need electricity they can count on, that they can afford. They need fuel to cook their food on that's not animal dung.

I was looking forward to waving it and making a lot of noise. But now we're keeping a low profile. I don't see any reason to add fuel to the fire.

Knowing where people are, where they want to ride the bus and where they want to get off allows us to put the busses out exactly where people want to go and that allows us to keep the fares at the same level that they've been for 10 years despite what we've seen fuel prices and other costs do.

Key to American's and the broader sector's future performance will be the industry's ability to raise prices and offset higher fuel costs, which is a function of capacity, in our view.

It became evident on the pace lap that something was wrong with the exhaust, ... It had cracked and the muffler started to come off. We pitted early, which put me way back. Needless to say, exhaust fumes were getting to me, as well, so it was a pretty demanding race physically. Then, the fuel pump died with 15 laps to go, so we nursed it around and made it to the end. Our season went well. The GT-1 program gave me a chance to shine within the Trans-Am Series and to entice future sponsorship for next year. The heightened exposure helped and our plan worked.

It appears, at the end of the day, there are fossil fuel interests trying to stop a renewable energy project.

It confirms everyone's expectations that they'll raise rates in March. When growth is improving, you don't want to fuel extra speculation.

It comes from any powerful fuel combustion: coal, gas, factories, cars.

It (hydrogen fuel cells) needs a major breakthrough in technology.

It is a little bit of a trend with the price of fuel going up and (biofuels) being environmentally friendly. There is a niche market for it.

I think the products for 2006 are quite strong. If we can keep fuel prices at $2 a gallon, I think GM will float to the top of the SUV and full-size pick-up market.

I thought about how disappointed I was. I would admit that after that race I was broken in half. It took a little while, but I settled down and got back to working out and just using it as fuel for the fire.

I think the energy prices are going to overhang us for a while, maybe a good long while. It's looking like there's going to be a problem with fuel prices again, and the markets are concerned the consumer is going to be tapped out by the end of the year.

I think the biggie is still to come, ... That's the heating bill. In December, people will get fuel bills for November. That will hit race fans harder in January and February. We've got to be prepared for that.

I think we raced pretty smart. People are racing so hard for the front, and I just think we saved a lot of fuel and that was going to help us win the race. I had a very consistent car. The team did a great job. I'm ready to do it again.

I think we ultimately ought to look to put all uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing, if any is done, under multinational control. Those are the two technologies by which nuclear energy can be translated into nuclear weapons programmes.

I think that compared to other teams we are looking competitive, but in order to see whether we are really quick enough to aim for the top we need to wait till everybody is running on low fuel with new tires.

I think that some of the effect will be down the road, like crawfish season for next year. I think that naturally prices will be higher for a couple of reasons, fuel prices and the hurricane.

I think that they've bought themselves a little bit of time, certainly. But I don't think, even when they came up with the goal of $1 billion in concessions, that they expected fuel prices to be at these levels. I expect they'll continue to burn through cash, and they'll need to do more.

Last year in the spring it was an alternator belt that broke when we were leading that took us out of contention, and then in the fall last year we were leading at the end before fuel strategy cost us the win. But Richmond is a terrific racetrack.

I think there's a risk we're going through a period that profits will get squeezed relative to expectations. If economy slows dramatically, there could be real downside risk to numbers. But having said that, if we have a soft landing (for economic growth) and fuel prices coming down just a bit, then things could actually improve.

Just as with cars, it's critical to know the fuel efficiency of black holes. Without this information, we cannot figure out what is going on under the hood, so to speak, or what the engine can do.

James, ... is a guy who runs on high octane. He's a fighter jet; he burns the fuel fast and furious, and he plays so big and so fast that if an edge does come off, it's a big relief. You just have to show a bit of experience and keep hitting your shots.

James is a guy that runs on high octane, ... He's a fighter jet. He burns the fuel fast and furious, and he's gotten much better with that over the years.

Over the long run, if costs of fuel stay high or go higher, then the higher costs will be reflected at retail (level),

Our target is to deliver demonstrable evidence to our customer that in-hub electric-drive is mature enough to meet the FRES requirement and that the hybrid power architecture can be successfully integrated with an open standards electronic architecture. Further, this is an excellent opportunity for the customer to evaluate the transformational benefits of a hybrid-electric drive that offers track-like performance at wheeled vehicle costs, which has the capability to quickly balance or shift power to mission systems that may have different requirements based on mission profile. This optimizes performance for fuel efficiency, and removes traditional armored fighting-vehicle drive line constraints, which will significantly reduce the whole-life cost of ownership.

Recycling is the right thing to do for America and will make the (Private Fuel Storage) proposal for Utah obsolete.

Regardless, that's a couple of weeks from now. For right now we're going to celebrate our team's first Top Fuel win!

Refiners are selling off all supplies of winter grade fuel in advance of next Tuesday's deadline. That has put extra supply on the market, sending prices lower. Motorists can expect to see prices stay near current levels for a couple of weeks. After that, with the extra winter grade supply used up, motorists should expect more upward pressure on retail gas prices.

Record-high fuel costs, industry overcapacity, and the growth of low-cost carriers and the fares they are able to offer are negatively impacting the financial performance of many of the flights we currently operate,

Recent oil and fuel inventory trends are clearly demonstrating that the oil industry is no longer in crisis mode and that energy prices are likely to continue to soften.

Really, when you think about what these guys are spending on racing fuel, the base price sounds expensive, but they're really not buying much each week and it's probably one of the cheapest things in their budget, ...
