welcome to fuelguruTM ANNOUNCING!! Jim Russo will be kicking off three days of technical presentations in the Alternative and Advanced Fuels session matrix at the 2010 SAE International Powertrains, Fuels and Lubricants Meeting with his presentation of the fuelguruTM mission. If you are interested in a copy of the fuel guruTM presentation from the 2009 SAE International Powertrains, Fuels and Lubricants Meeting, please email us. If you are a consumer of transportation fuel, you probably have a lot more questions than answers right now. fuelguruTM is an unbiased third party advocating competition and cooperation among auto and oil companies towards higher quality transportation fuels and vehicle maintenance programs for the benefit of the consumer and the environment. This strategy is backed by stakeholder education, training and information exchange. Transportation industry professionals such as gasoline and diesel distributors, fleet operators and vehicle service personnel should educate themselves about fuel to make better fuel-related decisions that could improve vehicle performance, reduce fuel consumption and minimize emissions. Find out more about transportation fuel programs.
Please, be a responsible consumer and at least educate yourself on the basics of gasoline detergency and vehicle maintenance.
Thank you for your support!
