Below are some notable blended HFC mixtures. There exist many more (see list of refrigerants). All R-400 (R-4xx) and R-500 (R-5xx) hydroflurocarbons are blends, as noted above. 1  R-401A is a HCFC zeotropic blend of R-22, R-152a, and R-124. 2  It is designed as a replacement for R-12. R-401A is a HCFC zeotropic blend of R-22, R-152a, and R-124. 2  It is designed as a replacement for R-12. 3  R-404A is a HFC nearly azeotropic  blend of 52 wt.% R-143a, 44 wt.% R-125, and 4 wt.% R-134a. 4  It is designed as a replacement of R-22 and R-502 CFC.
Diesel vehicles may be making a comeback. Diesel engines are more fuel-efficient and have more low-end torque than similar-sized gasoline engines, and diesel fuel contains roughly 10% to 15% more energy than gasoline. So, diesel vehicles can often go about 20% to 35% farther on a gallon of fuel than their gasoline counterparts. Plus, today's diesel vehicles are much improved over diesels of the past.
What makes a hybrid car so fuel-efficient? It's quite simple â they only burn gasoline when needed. That's because, as the term implies, hybrid cars have two different powerplants under the hood: a powerful electric motor and a conventional gasoline engine.
