Episode 006 - How Fuels Have Changed Over the Years

Episode 006 - How Fuels Have Changed Over the Years

TFP006

Are the fuels of today the same as the fuels of the past? The short answer is no. Fuel and the way that we use fuel have changed immensely over the past couple of decades. There have been three driving factors that have contributed to this change, which we will be discussing in this episode. We will also discuss the impact that government regulation has had on the fuel industry and what you can expect to change moving forward.

Listen in as I explain how the refinement methods for crude oil have changed and why the demand for fuel does not have a ceiling. You will learn what the clean air act is, what an aromatic is, and what you should do if you have a problem with gasoline or another type of fuel.

Listen to the Full Episode:
