Gasoline

The main problem with gasoline is that it is a main source of pollution and global warming. Gasoline has 2 main problems; one is that the smog and ozone from all the cars build up in the city. The second reason is when gasoline burns from, a car it creates nothing but carbon dioxide, as well as carbon monoxide, natural oxides and unburned hydrocarbons. The driving source of gasoline is that it is used worldwide as a source of energy and that the world depends on it so much that it is being burned out of control. To solve this problem some companies are creating hybrid cars or cars that run on both electricity and some gasoline rather then solely gasoline. Some people are not doing anything to stop this problem and they keep on using gasoline and are convinced that transfering over to electricity powered and/or hydro powered cars isnt that important, or they dont believe its as big as a problem as it actually is.

Critics would say that burning gasoline is not the best way to fuel cars, as well as not being healthy for the environment. The critics say that due to the burning gasoline releasing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide into the air, leading into global warming that this is surely not the best way to fuel or cars. The critics suggest us to look into the production of the Hydrogen Economy. This economy eliminates the pollution of fossil fuels by turning burning Hydrogen into water. Also an advantage to this is that it eliminates our demand for oil form the middle east, and eliminates oil all together. This would help our economy not purchase extremely expensive oil as well as help us in our quest to stop global warming.

How does gasoline fuel a car? The air/fuel mixture is compressed and then ignited in the combustion chamber of an engine. The explosion from this ignition forces the piston down which in turn turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft delivers power to the transmission which makes the vehicle move. Gasoline makes up most of the worlds fuel/energy supply because no automobile can run without some amount of gasoline. All automobiles have a internal combustion engine, and the only thing that can fuel a internal cumbustion engine is gasoline. Gasoline is also used in every source of transportation, whether it be: cars, trucks, busses, planes, trains and even ships. There are no cars or any other transportation that uses no gasoline what so ever, even hybrid cars use some gasoline. Every person in the world who has a car uses gasoline, even if they are against pollution or global warming, the most effeciant way to get around or travel is by automobile.

interesting fact: The U.S. used about 510 billion litres (138 billion gallons) of gasoline in 2006, of which 5.6% was mid-grade and 9.5% was premium grade
