(Louisville, KY) With all-time record high gasoline prices and a volatile fuels marketplace potentially affecting the green industry, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) will host one of the nation’s foremost authorities on the fuels marketplace and economy during GIE+EXPO (Green Industry & Equipment Expo). GIE+EXPO, which will be held October 23-25 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, is sponsored by OPEI, Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) and the Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS).
.
“OPEI is very pleased that Dr. John Felmy, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute (API), Washington, D.C., has accepted our invitation to participate at GIE+EXPO,” said Kris Kiser, OPEI’s vice president of public affairs. “With near-daily fluctuations in gasoline prices and an uncertain price future, we believe Dr. Felmy’s expertise and insight into fuel prices and the marketplace will benefit lawn and landscape professionals attending.” Dr. Felmy oversees the economic, statistical and policy analyses of API, the national trade association of the oil and gas industry.

Felmy will be a presenter on Thursday, October 23, during the 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. keynote session of the Green Industry Conference (GIC), sponsored by PLANET at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Louisville.

My mowers are Diesel powered. I use about half the fuel that I did with air cooled gas. Even with diesel fuel 80 cents higher, savings to my business is about 40%
