The Ford Focus Is About To Make NASCAR Go Electric

Ford Focus Electric Car

Over the last few years, NASCAR has made a real effort to become a little greener. Ethanol-based fuels and a switch to fuel injection has just been the start.

But they haven't made many changes to the pace cars in front of the field.

Today, they changed that. NASCAR and Ford have announced that the Focus Electric will be the official pace car for the April 28 race at Richmond International Raceway.

The Focus will be the first electric car to pace a NASCAR race.

At 100 MPGe in the city and 99 MPGe on the highway, the Focus Electric is the most efficient fully electric car available in America today.

The pace car will be officially unveiled at the Virginia State Capitol on April 25.

3 Huge Questions Investors Are Asking Right Now

traders, investing, stocks

The latest edition of Top Client Questions from SocGen's Michala Marcussen is out.

Here are the three questions on top of mind these days:

 

  • What's China's Next Move?
  • When will the ECB reactivate Securities Market Purchases?
  • What's happening with fiscal compact ratification in Europe?

The implications of all three are pretty obvious we think, though in general we think that all people are talking about right now is Spain, Spain and more Spain.

The big question for the week is really: Will we see another Spanish yield blowout, and will the IBEX 35 plunge to new all-time lows.

A Refined Oil Play in Royal Dutch Shell?

Michael is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinions of our bloggers and are not formally edited.

Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A) was not what I was searching for when I stumbled upon it. I was trying to find out why gasoline was so expensive and if refineries aren't making any money, why are they still in business? According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. has gone from more than 300 operating refineries in the early 1980's to 149 today. The E.I.A. last week said U.S. demand for gas was down 7.2% from a year earlier.  Hmmm? So now we have what has become the annual spring run up in gas prices. According to ABC news every year between February and late May since the year 2000 pump prices jumped on average 27%! The excuse always seems to be that refineries reduce output to repair equipment, oh, and start making the cleaner more expensive blend of summer gas. According to ABC it costs between .05 and .15 cents in additional cost per gallon. Then why nation wide is the price of reformulated gas .23 cents a gallon more expensive then conventional gas? I can't understand why crude is selling for less than it was a year ago at this time yet  prices are up over 14%.

Still following me?  That is what led me to Shell Oil, or better said Motiva Enterprises LLC.  Motiva is a jointly held company owned by Shell and the worlds largest gas and oil company Saudi Arabian Oil. In Port Arthur Texas this joint venture spent between 6 and 7 billion dollars since 2006 to double the capacity to 600,000 barrels a day when finished this year. There hasn't been a permit for a new refinery in the U.S. since the 1970's yet Motiva has spent 7 billion dollars to up capacity! Exxon Mobil

(NYSE: XOM)
will no longer hold the title of largest U.S. refinery at 560,640 barrels capacity per day at its Baytown Texas facility.

As a consumer I feel we are being gouged at the pump. As an investor I want to purchase companies that are making money from it. The Motiva facility is positioned to take advantage of the Keystone XL pipeline and the Canadian tar sands oil it will deliver. This refinery is set up to process that type of heavy crude. Now don't start thinking this is going to equate in cheaper prices at the pump, it won't. All the extra capacity will be exported to Mexico and Central America where demand is growing. Unlike Sunoco (NYSE: SUN)

who is getting out of the refinery business, Shell and Exxon are vertically integrated companies that enjoy the economies of scale. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't purchase Shell simply because of its partnership in Motiva. I'd buy it because it is a very profitable global oil player with a nice .84 cent a share quarterly dividend that is selling at a fair value. Maybe owning it would make it a little easier the next time I have to fill up my tank.
