Default Fuels commonly used in Hybrid Cars

The fuels that are used as alternatives for petroleum are carefully studied and engineered for full performance in vehicles and have good effects to the environment. These fuels are ethanol, methanol, biodiesel, electricity, and hydrogen fuel are all forms of renewable energy that can be used to power vehicles. Are these alternative fuels able to last a lifetime? Are there alternative to alternative fuels? (Good question there is!)

Cool

These discoveries helped much in the preservation of the ozone layer. Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol (ethanol, butanol), chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil and other biomass sources.

It would be great if we use water to fuel cars.

So true. Anything in demand can have such a ridiculous price!

They might be able to charge that much for water, (too much around for free and it;s needed to live more than for just cars) but be absoultely certtain that some sort of fee for something will be put on for some reason. Prices won't ever fall when the men in charge insist on making outragious money for themselves.

Ethanol, biodiesel , natural gas, propane and hydrogen are the ones commercially available. And a move to environmental awareness, the Federal government offers tax incentives to consumers purchasing qualifying alternative fuel vehicles.
