Which is the best alternative fuel to gasoline?

Question

Gas price is spiraling higher and higher daily and hurting my budget a great deal, so I am looking for the best alternative, please help.

Answer 1

Hydrogen...Costs a bit. Electric...have to replace batteries after about five years. Scooter...Got kids? Some pacific islands use oil from coconuts for diesel engines!!

Answer 2

diesel - but you need a vehicle that runs on diesel.  Typically a modern diesel engine will provide 40% better fuel economy compared with a gasoline engine which provides similar performance.  

For example, a Jeep Liberty with a 3.7l V6 gets 16 to 18 mpg in mixed city and highway driving, where as one with a 2.8l CRD (which will actually accelerate faster) gets 25 to 28 mpg under the same conditions.

Answer 3

The cheapest conversion at this time is to switch your existing car to propane .... The clean air fuel.....it costs less than gasoline and you get a tax credit for using it.

Answer 4

There is yet no practical alternative to gasoline, diesel is slightly cheaper, but the price of diesel fuel is also going up with the price of cruse oil. the same is true for cooking gas.

but the good thing is that the rise in the price of crude oil and all it;s derivatives caused a dramatic increase in the budgets allocates for search of alternative fuels sources, and more fuel efficient cars,and I believe that in a few years the introduction of such alternatives will also cause a reduction in the price of gasoline.

Answer 5

Compressed air.  It's the worlds cleanest car.  It's scheduled to be on the market in 2008.  Let's all get it and get out of this oil crisis.

Answer 6

there was mention of an air car do check out this site and see what was, what is, and what is going to be available. the battery technology is changing with better alternatives to the lead acid battery.

Answer 7

There are none that are cost effective at this time. Best bet is Smaller more efficient gasoline car, Hybrid, or better yet smaller more efficient Diesel.

Do not believe all the hype about Hydrogen, Air, Electric, etc., etc. It is simply B. S. in terms of cost efectiveness and reliability. If it were not B. S., they would be selling like hot cakes and would have been used in Japan and Europe for years. Gas prices have just gone high in the U. S.  Japan and Europe have been fighting very high fuel costs for many years. They both have well educated societies and millions of some of the best engineers in the world. Are people actually stupid enough to think they are waiting on the U. S?

DUH

Answer 8

Gasoline is still the least expensive of available fuels.

Answer 9

biodiesel or WVO (waste veggie oil.)

Answer 10

hydrogen

Answer 11

synthetic oil

Answer 12

If you are not aware of water for gas, it will not surprise me if you laugh it off. It sounds incredible but it is true.  Yes, you really may not be aware that people like you are now using water for gas to run their cars and other engines.  

What Is Water For Gas?

2Hydrogen+1Oxygen or HHO is water for gas, a clean alternative fuel for cars, trucks, plants, generators and boats. I am a beneficiary of this technology and think that you should also know and benefit from it.  Petrol prices are really hurting people who do not know about water for gas technology.

Though it is hard for people who have not experienced water-for-gas to believe that there is a technology such as this, the truth is that this simple but effective technology is more than 90 years old. The benefits of water for gas  are equal to none, yet most people are not aware.  This is because the technology was not promoted in spite of its simplicity and effectiveness.

Think what a change to both finances and the environment it will make if you, your friends, colleagues and everyone else turn to using water to run their Cars and engines, with just a little electricity from a battery to turn a little quantity of water into a clean energy that helps save the planet and its inhabitants including you and your family, born and unborn.

HHO, unlike hydrogyne fuel you from Hydrogyne Station, does not produce harmful emission because its end product is water.

I tell you all this from experience. I am finally free from the upward spiraling prices of gasoline.  My fuel economy since I began using water for gas has saved me more than 55% of supposed gasoline cost, and I have a mileage gain of 57%.

Answer 13

As far as we know there really aren't any yet. Unfortunately any alternative fuels are often more expensive, Hydrogen isn't anywhere close to being at every gas station and ethanol according to some recent studies releases more carbon emissions then fossil fuels, although if you have a flex fuel car it will cost you around 25 cents cheaper per gallon then regular gasoline. So its up to you but fossil fuels are still the most efficient. Best Idea is ride a bike when u can.
