Want to save on fuel? Well, as far as I'm concerned, the only good gas is no gasoline at all. With the Mideast hating us and the greenhouse gasses, it's no wonder people are looking for new ways to drive their cars. Believe it or not, alternative fuel sources are coming along quickly and the fossil car is on it's way out!

How Alternative Fuel Sources Are Making Gasoline Obsolete 

Warning: Using Gasoline Does Effect Us And Our Economy

Nowadays you pretty much need a car for work, for shopping, for family vacations, and I could go on and on. What do you use for fuel? Contrary to what you may have read, there are plenty of alternate fuel sources available in this day and age, and they are getting more and more important as our traditional ones are being depleted.

So, using alternative fuel sources is not just a matter of environmental responsibility. It is not just about assuaging your conscience. It is good sense, and sound planning.

Antique Polluting Gasoline?

Everyone knows that gas is on the way out, and so the more use you can make of alternate fuel sources, the better a favor you are doing for the environment and your fellow man. Gasoline pollutes, is becoming increasingly expensive to extract, and is dwindling in supply, but there are promising alternate fuel sources that, if we plan well, will be in place to take the place of traditional sources by the time a serious crises comes.

Where Do Alternative Fuel Sources Come From ?

Many of the alternate fuel sources come from plant sources. They go by names like biodeisel, or E85, and have the advantage of being, at least partly, renewable resources.

The alternate fuel source E85 actually consists of 15% gasoline with 85% ethanol, so it is not completely renewable, but it is still better than just burning pure gas.

Ethanol Is Still Not The Best Alternative Fuel Source

Although these alternate fuel sources have some advantages – chiefly the fact that they are renewable, and are also supposed to pollute somewhat less than traditional gasoline – they are not the best solution.

They still pollute and they require the growing of vast amounts of corn to make them, meaning that there is less land for growing food for people.

Electric Automobile - Just Plug It In!!

Electric cars use one of the best alternate fuel sources. They are efficient because all of the electricity that they need can be generated in one central location, instead of using a small, inefficient internal combustion motor.

Electric cars can use electricity generated by any kind of power plant, from coal to hydroelectric to wind, so they are really a great alternate mode of transportation.

Use Alternative Fuel Sources To Lose Weight?

Of course, the best of the alternate fuel sources is the one not talked about much: your own two legs on the peddles of your bike. Peddle power has become an increasingly popular option lately, as none of the other alternate fuel sources has completely panned out.

Biodiesel is not all that widely available, and electric cars have not really been perfected, but the bike is really a flawless machine for short to medium commutes.

So, before investing in one of those pricier alternate fuel sources, ask yourself if it would not be easier to walk or ride there. You will get some great exercise, save some money, and do a favor for the environment as well. Let's all go green and see what happens... Something good I'll bet!!
