This brings us back to a question recently raised by a few of our own employees: Does strictly following the speed limit actually result in noticeable fuel savings? While it is easy to follow the "pace of traffic," the physics of fuel consumption tell a much more expensive story. Here is a look at the data behind aerodynamics,

A refinery is basically a giant kitchen that takes one raw ingredient— crude oil —and "cooks" it into the different products we use every day. Here is the simple, four-step jour
