Alternative fuels. Hydrogen power a cleaner future

Advantages: Clean, no polution, renewable fuel and ecological.
Disadvantages: Big business and oil rich nations.

The fossil fuel based engines are more dangerous than just speed; they are destroying everything we hold most dear. There is an alternative, but not everyone likes it. What would you say if I told you an engine could run on a renewable source and only emit what it uses?

Not as far fetched as it first sounds. Examples are springing up in major car manufacturers and Universities all over the world. The drivers have come from the major ...
...reserves of their own. Companies like BMW, Nissan, Mazda with their own Hydrogen Wankel engine, and even Ford with its H2ICE engine have taken this seriously enough to produce demonstration models as feasibility studies. Admittedly at this stage they are only a concept, but a concept that has got far enough to be a viably concern to those who have the most to loose.

SO WHAT’S THE ADVANTAGES OVER PETROL AND DIESEL?

Ultimate fuel works in practice.

Advantages: Widely available. Excellent value for money. Kinder to the environment.
Disadvantages: Looks expensive, not all garages stock Ultimate diesel.

...who wrote superbly on "true" alternative fuels in this category, I'd like to recall my experiences using BP Ultimate fuel over the last 15 months. You may offer an argument that petrol and diesel, however brewed don't qualify as "alternative fuels" and yes I'd agree with you. However we are in the real world here, most of us who drive have to fill our cars with petrol, diesel or, in the case of an increasingly large minority, LPG (Liquid Petrolium ...
...then BP do have a website listing all their stations and what's available and where. Alternative fuel? No not really, but it is a viable alternative that every one of us can use to the good right now, after all if we all switched off just one light bulb............... ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Alternative Fuels"

honest Golf competitor

Advantages: good in the cities, good fuel consumtion
Disadvantages: weak engine over 140 km/h, spaciousness

not much room for the legs. Not very Mercedes-like is the plastic atmosphere inside. Grade: B All in all, is the A 170 a very nice car, with which I really like to drive. And in times of rising fuel prices the Diesel is cost saving alternative. I would recommend the Avantgarde version, which comes with sport setup, in black with AMG-wheels. This combination might cause some fear on the streets in the world. ...

Review of Mercedes A 170 CDI

Fuelling the argument....

Advantages: For cheap (er) petrol, try using the Sainsbury's voucher scheme or B.P.
Disadvantages: Greedy fat-cats and a greedy Government

cheaper than it is over here. Why? TAX. They pay so much less tax out there. As a result of the increasing prices, I now take the bus to work as often as I can. I also try and get my petrol at Sainsbury's - which has a voucher scheme in operation, whereby spending certain amounts at the till in their supermarket entitles you to a few pence per litre discount on their petrol. I've also noticed B.P garages have dropped their prices recently...hmmm. I wonder why. Also, why do petrol prices vary around the country? Is the petrol I buy in Outer London not as good as the petrol at Motorway Services? Yeah, right. LPG, an alternative fuel source (based on gas) is just around the corner, and some cars are compatible with this fuel already. This fuel is currently very cheap; around 30p a litre...but how much will this go up when the Government whack ...

Review of Petrol Price Debate

Join The Farrah Deal For Prime Minister Campaign

Advantages: A brilliant piece of advertising by Daewoo.
Disadvantages: Prescott will probably still win!!!!!

development of LPG (see my op, plug plug!!) as an alternative fuel, the reform of many outdated speed limits, and more use of advanced driving lessons to help with road safety. They have developed a special logo for the “new party”, based, off course, on the Daewoo badge, and have also had a large batch of special campaign rosettes made up. In fact these rosettes will not be any colour at all, but totally “clear”, which Daewoo say is to illustrate its desire to see a “transparent” transport policy adopted. The public is also to be bombarded with free Daewoo T-shirts, pens and keyrings bearing the “party” logo, and Daewoo are combining this with a massive billboard poster campaign in order to publicise their election bid. ~ ~ This is the first time a car manufacturer has ever attempted such ...
