Think about it: We pay package delivery companies a surcharge for the fuel used to transport our packages.
However, there are some concerns that the fuel used in the probe, which is toxic, will land on the surface.
FORBES: Failed Russian Probe Phobos-Grunt Will Fall To Earth This Weekend
One telling sign could be the nature of the fuel used in the test, though that is not yet clear.
Thermal efficiency is how much of the potential heat energy of the fuel used is actually returned as work at the wheels.
Within a year Travelport hopes to give every single flight a carbon rating, taking into account the plane, the type of fuel used, and other data points.
In addition to the size of Tuesday's blast, the type of fuel used to create the explosion will be an immediate concern to the U.S., South Korea and other nations.
When the car returns to the lot, it transmits to Silvercar not only the time it was returned but also the mileage, tolls and fuel used, down to the hundredth of a liter.
Mining the moon for fuel used in nuclear fusion reactors is among NASA's 200-plus set of mission goals and could precipitate another reason for other countries and private investors to join future lunar exploration.
The National Biodiesel Board says that less than 1 percent of the 60 billion gallons of diesel fuel used each year comes from biodiesel, most of it produced from soybeans, animal fats and recycled oil.
This line of research is critical to the American energy economy, given that three-quarters of the fossil fuel used in the United States goes to powering cars and trucks, which produce one-quarter of the country's greenhouse gases.

America's ethanol subsidy, which has led to a huge rise in production, rocketing maize prices and consequent rioting in Mexico, is the sharpest example of why government should not pick winners: once the fertiliser and fuel used in corn production are taken into account, ethanol is probably not much greener than petrol.
His system has a design that makes it easier to get the air through it, uses cheaper materials and does not draw electricity from the grid, which adds to costs and reduces the net amount of carbon stored (since grid electricity comes with carbon emissions attached, from the fuel used to make it).
The company announced in February that it could no longer store the fuel, used in some vintage and high performance vehicles, at its St Sampson fuel depot.
In Iraq and Afghanistan about 40% of fuel is used to run electricity generators.
Less fuel is used to transport the vegetables to market, and we get better-tasting veggies with a higher mineral and nutritional content.
Which allows them to extract plutonium from the fuel rods used in the light water reactor, the second one that was finished in 1998.
The answer lies in its plant for reprocessing spent fuel, built partly to take used fuel from Germany and Japan (which largely paid for its construction) and partly to produce the plutonium that was once expected to be needed as fuel for fast-breeder reactors, in Britain and elsewhere.
One proposed solution for long-term storage of used fuel is Yucca Mountain in Nevada.
The same is true of reprocessing: you can get plutonium out of used fuel.
The MCA said tests showed it to be "common fuel oil" used by ships all over the world.
In the test at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, "dummy" fuel rods were used, so no nuclear reaction began.
CNN: U.S.: Iran has material for nuclear bomb but still 'not close'
Solid nuclear fuel like that used at Fukushima-Daiichi can melt and release radioactive materials if not cooled consistently during shutdown.
FORBES: Explainer: What Caused The Incident At Fukushima-Daiichi
But that doesn't address the problem of the need to cool the used fuel for five years before moving it anywhere else.
And a quiet milestone was passed earlier this year when gas equalled coal as the most widely used fuel for the generation of electricity.
But weapons-grade fuel is still used in some reactors, said Lyman.
The nuclear industry believes recycling the used fuel and turning it into Mox can help reduce the world's growing stockpile of plutonium, one of the most toxic substances known to humankind.
In the past, Russia has allayed western fears by belittling Iran's nuclear expertise, and drawing attention to an agreement whereby Russia would take back used fuel from the reactor at Bushehr.
Another advantage for Werner is the way it has used fuel surcharges to help maintain its profit margin, which averaged 8.1% for the first nine months of 2004, but hit 9.3% in the third quarter.
Shuttering even one U.S. nuclear power plant could unleash massive carbon emissions if fossil-fuel plants were used to make up the lost power, according to a new study released this weekend by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.
