"Unsealed pavements will require repairs starting with the second year and could require a one inch overlay as often as every seven years. Cost savings will be a substantial 65% if the pavement is maintained regularly. Estimated savings for a 10,000 square yard asphalt pavement are $127,000 over 15 years."
"The price of asphalt paving and seal coating are crude oil dependent. Even though the price of gasoline has fallen in 09 the price of asphalt and seal coating have not. The reason is that asphalt used to be comprised of the products of diesel fuel. Asphalt was made from the leftovers. New laws in January 08 have eliminated the by products from diesel fuel during the refining process. Therefore causing a 10x price increase in raw asphalt oil during the past 3 years."
