Have you heard of Exxon Mobil's record profits last week? Revenue rose 40 percent(!) to $138.1 billion. While at the same time the rest of us were paying record high prices at the gas pump.

It doesn't need to be this way. Our energy prices don't need to be this high.

Al Gore's site promises that if we do something now, in 10 years we can bring our energy costs down. 10 years!!! I want something now!

And I got it. For the first time in history, a product (EthosFR) is mandated to be used by 2 cities in the US - Bal Harbor and Boca Raton, after city's test vehicles showed a 12.6% improvement in fuel economy along with a reduction in harmful emissions.

So why is Al Gore talking about what can happen 10 years from now? Why is Austin Texas (my city) spends $8 million to convert all the fleet to bio-diesel while North Miami and other cities save 12.6% of the cost of their fuel?

When Bob's 2001 Dodge increases its mileage to 30.2 mpg - way better than the 2008 Dodge models, and is cleaner than a hybrid - why is the rest of the country still suffering?

Because - no body is talking about this. Not even Al Gore.

FLEETS LOWER COSTS WITH ETHOS FR PROGRAM

Ethos Environmental offers a cost effective solution to help industry meet environmental regulations and relieve skyrocketing fuel prices. Hundreds of millions of miles of road tests have proven that commercial fleets on average increase fuel mileage between 7% and 19% and reduce emissions by more than 30%. Commercial fleets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Europe use Ethos Fuel Reformulator.
Ethos FR is non-toxic, non-hazardous and works with any fuel used in car, trucks, buses, RV’s, ships, trains and generators. Ethos FR reduces fuel costs by producing a net gain in mileage above cost. Ethos FR contains two families of esters, a group of cleaning esters and a group of lubricating esters in a mineral oil base. It cleans and lubricates the internal parts of the engine without the use of petroleum-derived products commonly found in fuel additives. The main objective is to make fuels self-cleaning and self-lubricating without increasing toxic emissions. Moving parts function more smoothly with reduced heat and friction, requiring less maintenance. Horsepower returns closer to the manufacturer specifications. Ethos FR removes carbon deposits, one of the culprits that cause fuel to combust incompletely, resulting in wasted fuel that creates toxic emissions. The combination of cleaning and lubricating esters in Ethos FR stabilize the fuel without changing its specifications.

The overall result is that Ethos FR makes engines combust fuel more completely. When an engine uses each measure of fuel to the maximum degree possible, it has two very important benefits. It reduces fuel consumption and reduces non-combusted residues that an engine expels in the form of exhaust emissions, such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and other harmful products of combustion. Unused fuel is saved in the fuel tank, waiting to be used efficiently by the engine, instead of exhausted in the form of toxic emissions. Ethos FR reduces emissions without adding any of its own components to the exhaust since it is 99.99976% ashless upon combustion and it is not derived from petroleum.

While the debate on emissions reduction solutions continues, Ethos Environmental is making a difference in cleaning the air today. Improved and accessible technology to measure diesel engine emissions is still in development. The change from diesel to alternative fuels has become more controversial as research shows that natural gas may be more hazardous. Particulate matter is reduced to a micro size, making it easier to assimilate by humans. Acquisition and operating costs associated with alternative fuels has slowed down widespread implementation. Ethos FR’s unique blend of esters reduces emissions and implementation is economical, therefore continued use is sustainable as well as safe. Remarkable results makes Ethos FR a preferred choice to reduce emissions and form part of any alternative fuel program.

Ethos FR Specifications:

Ethos FR is a unique combination of high-quality, non-toxic, specially designed esters

that uses only the elements of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It significantly reduces emissions, fuel consumption, and engine maintenance costs. Ethos FR provides an immediate, cost-effective strategy for fighting air pollution caused by fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine. This combination of low molecular cleaning esters and the high molecular lubricating esters, reformulates any fuel whether it’s gasoline, diesel, methanol, ethanol, LNG, compressed natural gas or bio-diesel. When blended with fuels, Ethos FR reduces

the emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and other harmful products of combustion. Yet, the emission of O2 is significantly increased. An EPA registered laboratory, confirms that Ethos FR is 99.99976% clean upon ignition and ashless upon combustion. Ethos FR is free of carcinogens.

Ethos FR is a light colored, multi-functional fuel reformulator. It is designed for use in all
fuels to increase power and mileage, dissolve gums and varnishes, lubricate upper cylinder
components and keep the entire fuel system clean and highly lubricated. It is recommended for
use at 1 part in 1280, which is equal to 1 fluid ounce of Ethos FR per 10 gallons of fuel.

FUEL SAVINGS

ETHOS FR PROGRAM CONVERTS EMISSIONS INTO FUEL SAVINGS

Ethos Environmental offers a cost-effective solution to relieve skyrocketing fuel prices and help lessen environmental regulatory pressures. Hundreds of millions of miles of road tests has proven that commercial fleets on average increase fuel mileage between 7% and 19% and reduce emissions by more than 30%. Ethos FR addresses one problem that has two side effects, wasted fuel and air pollution. Fuel burns inefficiently in an internal combustion engine and that inefficiency leads to wasted fuel transformed into toxic emissions. Ethos FR makes fuel burn more efficiently so it significantly improves both of these adverse effects. Most important, the use of Ethos FR results in fuel cost savings to the customer.

If you read the article on how much I love car magazines, then it should come as no surprise that I also adore car racing.

But I’m picky. I don’t like super car, funny car, stock car, or NASCAR. Granted NASCAR is the current race du jour, I still prefer the Indianapolis 500.

Every Memorial Day my father and I watched the 200-lap race. Although this year the stakes were upped when my MOTHER, of all people joined us. Why? Because she loves Helio – from Dancing with the Stars!

Who knew ballroom dancing would lead her to this?

Recently I’ve noticed that I don’t really recognize names anymore. Some drivers jumped ship to the ‘Other Race’ held the same holiday weekend so rookies came in by the dozens in the late 90’s to Indy.

I grew up with Rick Mears, Michael Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser and Al Unser, Jr., Buddy Lazier, Bobby Rahal, A.J. Foyt, Danny Sullivan, and my favorite – Arie Luyendyk.

So what’s happened to them? Now their sons and grandsons are racing IN THE SAME RACE!

You know you’re old when A.J. Foyt IV is racing and you still remember the ‘original’ A.J.!

There are a few moments that stand out over the years: the 360 spin Danny Sullivan made in the last laps in ’85 (and still won!), Michael Andretti running out of gas and coming to a dead stop on lap 189 as cars pass him, and in ’93 when 33 cars started and only 11 finished.

Things have changed also TV-wise: ABC now pushes back the live picture as commercials run on the left, David Letterman now is part owner with (Bobby) Rahal and ESPN now litters the screen with their logo.

The only thing that hasn’t changed? The number of Andrettis that race every year, my God where do they all come from?

Happy Memorial Day!

Após o carro turbina da STP perder a Indy 500 para um carro com motor de pistões em 1967, Andy Granatelli sabia que era necessário dar um passo adiante no projeto do carro turbina. Ele formou sociedade com Colin Chapman que encomendou ao seu designer Maurice Philippe um revolucionário carro, moldado com a comprovada combinação, testada por Andy, de uma turbina industrial Pratt e Whitney com um sistema de tração nas quatro rodas da Ferguson.

As Lotus 56 eram considerados os favoritos na Indy 500 de 1968. Quando foi aberta o Speedway em maio, as Lotus foram rápidas desde o início, mas alguns carros com motores V8 turbo também conseguiram acompanhar o ritmo imposto pelos carros turbina. Joe Leonard, Graham Hill e Mike Spence foram desafiados por A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Al and Bobby Unser, Dan Gurney, Lloyd Ruby, Denis Hulme, Mel Kenyon, Roger McCluskey e outros bons pilotos desde o início.

Colin Chapman estava ainda abalado com a morte de Jim Clark em abril.. Ele tinha destinado a Clark e Graham Hill os dois pilotos oficias da Lotus na F-1 e Indy. Não visavam apenas à vitória, mas a Indy 500 seria um importante teste para um projeto que Chapman tinha em mente, um conceito de qautro rodas motrices em um carro de F-1. Mike Spence foi chamado para substituir Clark, enquanto Granatelli entrou com outros 2 carros para pilotos americanos. Infelizmente, em uma sessão de treinos das 500 milhas de Indianápolis, Spence bateu forte no muro externo do circuito e acabou sendo atingido pela roda dianteira da sua Lotus 56.

De luto, Chapman retorna à Europa com o corpo de Spence e deixa os carros turbina da Indy nas mãos de Granatelli. Graham Hill, Joe Leonard e Art Pollard começam a corrida com Leonard na pole. Hill abandona logo no início da corrida, Leonard e Pollard se retiram com problemas na bomba de combustível. Leonard estava liderando a corrida e a poucas voltas do fim seu motor turbo morreu. Granatelli não obteve muito sucesso e no final da temporada os carros inovadores se tornam obsoletos quando o órgão esportivo (USAC) proíbe os motores turbina e tração 4x 4 tempos.

Chapman continuou desenvolvendo o 56, pois acreditava no potencial do carro como arma no mundial de F1. Principalmente porque o modelo 63, que aliava a tração nas quatro rodas com o motor Ford Cosworth convencional foi um fracasso. Mas esmo que no papel parecendo promissor, não tinha como negar que o carro era muito pesado e um tanto complicado para a época. Em 1971 Emerson Fittipaldi correu com o novo 56B em corridas extra-campeonato como o Race of Champions e o International Trophy. Durante os treinos na pista encharcada de Brands Hatch, o 56 eera de longe o carro mais veloz do grid. Mas como a corrida aconteceu no seco, as vantagens sumiram e o brasileiro só andava no pelotão mediano.

Em Silverstone, no International Trophy, o carro só durou três voltas até a suspensão quebrar. Chapman então decidiu aproveitar uma etapa do campeonato da Formula 5000 em Hockenheim na Alemanha, para testar o 56B antes do GP da Itália. Foi nesta ocasião que eu, moleque de 11 anos, tive o prazer de conhecer o Emerson pessoalmente. Ele terminou em segundo em ambas a baterias atrás do australiano Frank Gardner, que pilotava um Lola T330 de fábrica. Pouco depois terminou em oitavo lugar em Monza.

Mas Chapman viu que tinha obstáculos demais a superar para tornar o carro turbina em um vencedor e acabou abandonando o projeto do 56B, deixou a tração nas quatro de lado e também descartou turbinas de seus futuros planos. Em vez disto optou em continuar desenvolvendo o modelo 72, na sua criação inspirado pelo design do 56 original, e que conquistaria nas mãos de Emerson mais um titulo em 1972, além do Mundial de Construtores.

After the STP turbine car had lost the Indy 500 to a piston engine car in 1967, Andy Granatelli knew he needed to take a further step with the turbine car project. He teamed up with Colin Chapman and the Brit had his designer Maurice Philippe develop a revolutionary wedge shaped car around Andy's proven combination of a Pratt and Whitney industrial turbine engine with a Ferguson four wheel drive system.

The Lotus 56 looked to be a major contender for the 1968 Indy 500. When the Speedway opened in May, the Lotusses were fast right from the start, but several piston engine cars kept pace with quick speeds as well. Joe Leonard, Graham Hill and Mike Spence were challenging A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Al and Bobby Unser, Dan Gurney, Lloyd Ruby, Denis Hulme, Mel Kenyon, Roger McCluskey and other top drivers with their conventional piston engined cars from the outset.

Colin Chapman was still downbeat after Jim Clark's death in April, he had originally intended to enter the two Lotus Formula 1 drivers, Jim Clark and Graham Hill. Not only would they aim for victory, but the Indy 500 would also be a significant test drive for a similar concept of a four wheel drive Formula 1 car Chapman had in mind. So he had Mike Spence replacing Clark, while Granatelli himself would enter another two cars for American drivers, including Parnelli Jones. Unfortunately Spence would hit the outer wall and would be struck by the front wheel off his Lotus 56 in one of the Indy 500 test sessions.

A grief stricken Chapman returned to Europe with Spence's body and left the turbine Indy cars in Granatelli's hands. Eventually Graham Hill, Joe Leonard and Art Pollard entered the race with Leonard on pole. Hill crashed out early in the race, and Leonard and Pollard both retired with fuel pump problems. Leonard was in the lead with just a few laps to go, when his turbine engine died. Granatelli campaigned the cars with little success and the end of the season the innovative cars were left obsolete when the sport's governing body (USAC) banned both turbine engines and four wheel drive.

Chapman developed the 56 as a potential F1 machine after the failure of the four wheel drive Lotus 63, but while the car was promising, it was too heavy and too overcomplicated for F1. Emerson Fittipaldi tried the car in the 1971 Race of Champions and International Trophy non-Championship meetings. At Brands Hatch, during wet practice, the 56 was far and away the fastest car on the track, but the race was held in dry weather and the car was lost in midfield.

At the Silverstone-based International Trophy, the car only lasted three laps of the first heat before suspension failure forced Fittipaldi's retirement. Fittipaldi then competed in a round of the Formula 5000 championship in Hockenheim, Germany, as a test race for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix. That was the opportunity when I met Emerson personally fro the first time. He came home second in both heats behind a dominant Frank Gardner. At the high speed Monza track he managed to bring the car home in 8th.

By then Chapman decided to cut his losses and abandoned the 56, the four wheel drive concept and the gas turbine engine to concentrate on the Lotus 72, which had been inspired in the 56's wedge design, and would secure another drivers' and constructors' championships for Lotus in 1972.
