Blade Your Ride: Engergy Consumption.

The Blade Effect

Energy Consumption / Conservation

If every car in the United States had a BLADE on it...

The US would reduce its annual fuel consumption by 9 billion gallons.

That amount is equivalent to:

30 gallons for every man, woman and child in the country.
82 gallons for every household in the country.

If you were to fill rail tanker cars with 9 billion gallons of gasoline:

You would need 391,304 rail cars.
When connected together, the length of the train would be
4,446 miles long.
That means, the train would stretch from:
- Miami, Florida to London, England.
- or, from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, CA... and
  then back again to D.C. .

Tank

Pipeline

If you were to fill a pipeline, similar to the Alaskan Pipeline, with 9 billion gallons of gasoline:

The pipeline would be 17,408 miles long.
That means, the pipeline would stretch from Los Angeles,
California, to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia... and then back again to Los
Angeles.
