Question

What are some advantages of using alternative fuels?

Answer 1

None as the power comes from the burning of C. This is how U produce CO2 . The amount of Hp. is direct equals the same  amount of CO2.

Answer 2

diesel though it may be dearer is more economical,gas is just cheaper and bio-deisel runs as good as normal deisel(EVEN BETTER).but now theres rules on owning and producing bio-deisel(governments have sussed it out) and realize no-one will buy normal petrol,so now you need a license for it and im not kidding I think you can get arrested for illegal amounts,but yes bio-deisel has better efficienty aswell.

Answer 3

We can use compressed natural gas

One GGE (or Gasoline gallon equivalent) of natural gas is 127.77 cubic feet.

1000 cubic foot  = 1.032 MMBtu's

1 MMBtu cost about  $ 9.85  at this time

So you can run a car for less than $1.00 a gal on Nat gas

Oh right on other thing it is very clean to use.

A car powered by natural gas topped an annual list of "greenest" 2007 model vehicles

How about a bi-fuel of a tri-fuel car? Some thing to thing about.

Answer 4

My cars run on natural gas. They're very clean and cost only $10 to fill up in Utah (85 cents per gas gallon equivalent). They look and run like any other car, nothing freakish about them at all. Natural gas is produced in the USA, so the money stays in our own economy. It's here, it's available, it's now, not a dream or wish or hope like so many other types of alternative fuels you hear about. I'll list some sources below so you can check it out for yourself. Good luck!

Answer 7

Less beer drinker's on the road as Corn is used to make biofuel's and Beer.

But really wouldn't it be cheeper to "Drink,don't drive as beer is cheeper".

I think once we get enough Hydrogen auto's and houses' we'll all be at an advantage.

Plus if there was totally solar plating on auto's It would make a big difference but would upset the war monger's and oil Barron's
