While prices have come down since the peak in June, prices were beginning to tick up again. Gas prices hit $3.79 a gallon the week of September 29, 2022, up from $3.73 on September 23, 2022 — an increase of $0.06 per gallon over the last week. [14] Since October 10, 2022, the price of gasoline has gone down again.
China has limited sulfur in diesel fuel to 150 ppm (equivalent to the Euro III standard). The limits of 10 ppm (equivalent to the Euro V standard), only apply in certain cities such as Beijing. [15] From 2014 to 2017, China will limit sulfur in diesel fuel to 50 ppm. After 2017, the sulfur content in diesel fuel will be limited to 10ppm. [16]
Due to the higher density, diesel fuel offers a higher volumetric energy density: the density of EN 590 diesel fuel is defined as 0.820 to 0.845 kg/L (6.84 to 7.05 lb/US gal) at 15 °C (59 °F), about 9.0-13.9% more than EN 228 gasoline (petrol)'s 0.720–0.775 kg/L (6.01–6.47 lb/US gal) at 15 °C, which should be put into consideration when ...
Starting in January 2017, gasoline has been limited to an annual average of 10 ppm sulfur, with a maximum of 80 ppm allowed per batch at the refinery gate and up to 95 ppm downstream. [16] At this point, nearly all road and industrial fuels produced in the US have been substantially desulfurized to levels of 15 parts per million or less.
Today, these regions are still used for data collection purposes. The Petroleum Administration for War was established in 1942 by executive order , and abolished in 1946. The districts are now named for the later Petroleum Administration for Defense which existed during the Korean War .
The EN 590 had been introduced along with the European emission standards.With each of its revisions the EN 590 had been adapted to lower the sulphur content of diesel fuel – since 2007 this is called ultra-low-sulphur diesel as the former function of sulphur as a lubricant is absent (and needs to be replaced by additives).
West Texas Intermediate (light blue) alongside other selected North American oil benchmarks. West Texas Intermediate is used primarily in the U.S. It is light (API gravity) and sweet (low-sulfur) thus making it ideal for producing products like low-sulfur gasoline and low-sulfur diesel. Brent is not as light or as sweet as WTI but it is still a ...
Texas Low Emission Diesel standards (TxLED) are rules regulating the quality of diesel fuels, intended to reduce pollutants (especially NOx). Since October 31, 2005, diesel fuel to be consumed by engines in 110 counties in Eastern Texas must meet these requirements: [1] Maximum aromatic hydrocarbon content of 10% by volume. Minimum cetane ...
