National Safety Council Offers Sound Advice on Vehicle Emissions

"Motor vehicles emit millions of tons of pollutants into the air each year," reads the Auto Emissions Fact Sheet on the National Safety Council's web site. The page points out that the driving of vehicles is the single most polluting activity.  A liquid fuel catalyst like Green Plus® can better utilize our fuel, while reducing the adverse effect on the environment. 

"Of course all of us must take measures such as reducing vehicle use, keeping vehicles in good running condition and going with newer, less polluting vehicles," says Robert W. Carroll, chairman and CEO of <a href="http://www.green-plus-additive.com/">Biofriendly</a> Corporation. "But adding a product such as Green Plus will take pollution reduction to the next level."

When brought to a corporate or business level, the National Safety Council's advice could be (and probably is in many quarters) adopted as company policy. Implementation of company-sponsored carpooling, mandatory maintenance of company vehicles including keeping track of fuel economy, and purchasing of fuel-efficient vehicles are all vital activities. Additionally, the site advises traveling at moderate speeds and using cleaner fuels, such as reformulated or oxygenated gasoline and alternative fuels, when available.

Adding a product such as Green Plus greatly enhances such efforts. Green Plus added to fuel in vehicles increases fuel efficiency and reduces environmental waste. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the thermal energy to mechanical energy efficiency of light-duty combustion engines is around 30%. Heavy-duty engines are only marginally better at 40%. The reason for this inefficiency lies at the molecular level--oxygen is unable to fully reach fuel due to the composition of complex hydrocarbon molecule clusters. The result is an incomplete burning process, resulting in environmentally-harmful waste. Green Plus slightly "unbundles" these complexes, allowing a more complete burn, reduced emissions and improved energy efficiency.

The National Safety Council's web page also notes that the Federal Highway Administration estimates that car operation costs between 22 and 29 cents per mile, and that idling and stop-and-go traffic costs vehicle owners an estimated 753 million gallons of gasoline a year. Such statistics highlight the difference that an effective fuel catalyst like Green Plus from <a href=http://www.nsti.org/press/PRshow.html?id=362>Biofriendly</a> can make for fuel efficiency.
