Recycled Asphalt Pavement. The 1973 Arab Oil Embargo saw the price of crude oil rise from less than $10 a barrel to more than $35 by 1981. Suddenly binder costs, only 5% of the total mix, were now 68% of the mix materials costs. This dramatic price increase, the aging of the U.S. highway system and the realization both aggregates and binder ...
