Okay sport's fans, tree huggers, SUV overs and just plain old hippies.

Let's cuss and discuss, spell out and dis-spell the accuracy, and potential of alternative fuel sources.

Bio-Diesel
E-85
Hydrogen
Solar
Wind
Efficient Design

And basically anything else you can find out there.

Unless they can have the same performance, I don't want any of 'em. I'll support the terrorists so I can drive my gas guzzling mo-bile.

bio diesal is a great idea...
but here you have to declare its use so it makes it 70p a litre rather than £1.07 a litre for conventional diesal
if you just buy it at 30p alitre from the supermarket and dont declare there are major fines and possible prison sentence...since you smell like the back of macdonalds the police stop you and youre rumbled.
theres gotto be a better solution

I heard the reason they mixed 15% gasoline with the E85 was so people wouldn't drink the 100% corn grain alcohol at the pump.

LoL. What are you talking aboot? Cooking oil to run a car?

 

[debbie t]

I really don't care. Whatever they want to invent, I'll buy it if I can afford it. I take that back, I'd care more if the technology produced American jobs.

If done right, green technology should stimulate the American economy.

A pretty good portion of the vehicles going green are being done so by U.S. Automakers, as well as Toyota, who has a rather large stake in making cars here.

Another company with the right idea. Of course they will be in limited release at first, and the roadster is pricey. But they plan on making a coupe that will be affordable.

It's a neat site with video and pictures of the roadster.
