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.
Diesel engines get better fuel economy simply because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. Diesel engines are also built heavier than a gas engine to sustain the added stress of the higher compression ratio.iesel engines get better fuel economy simply because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power.
