A blog exploring gas-free travel options that are available today. Reviews electric vehicles such as all-electric cars, scooters and electric motorcycles. We also review commuter bikes, folding bikes, velomobiles (bike cars). We cover long-distance cycling and public transit options.
Most Americans know we’ve got a problem: an addiction to oil that taxes the environment, entangles us in costly foreign policies, and threatens the nation’s long-term stability. But few are informed or empowered enough to do much about it.

A data source and search service listing data about alternatively fueled vehicles.
The Mapquest gas price locator also includes listings for "alternative fuel" stations such as hydrogen or electricity or biodiesel or E-85 or CNG or LPG ... Really cool. But, hampered by very slow download times.
Information center constructed by Yahoo giving coverage for "Green" cars. This is primarily the biofuels, ethanol and Bio Diesel.
A line of stickers and clothing related to living free of oil or gasoline through riding bicycles. Also contains a number of links related to bicycling as an alternative to oil.
The Green Car Club unites owners and enthusiasts of environmentally cleaner cars.
Greener vehicles are here - and they’re not just for environmentalists! They are “no-compromise” cars. As performance has soared, so has popularity. Advanced cars, SUVs, pickups, and buses offer better performance, more convenience, and lower driving costs. The Toyota Prius has received numerous awards including the “2004 North American Car of the Year.” The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has heralded hybrid vehicles and new clean gasoline vehicles as the “first fruit of California’s zero-emission program.” CARB has certified most hybrids as meeting their stringent AT-PZEV (Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicles) standards.
The path to sustainable mobility is complex, with numerous competing and complementary approaches to alternative energy sources, production, distribution and applications; fuel and power-train options; materials; safety, economic and environmental considerations and trade-offs; policy issues; and different timelines for research, development and deployment.
Green Car Congress' mission is to provide timely, high-quality editorial about the full spectrum of energy options, technologies, products, issues and policies related to sustainable mobility.
Your source for news and information on the rapid advances in natural gas, biofuel, battery-electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Group newsletters are the most widely read and respected publications covering alternative fuel vehicles. Each newsletter includes a searchable archive of back issues.
This is an online reprint of a 1982 book by the same title. It gives specific instructions to converting a gasoline engine to run on alchohol, and the instructions will work for E85 fuel that is becoming more widely available.
There are now nearly 700 Gas Stations in the United States where you can fill up on E85 fuel.
That number is expected to double in a little over a year as service stations are being offered offering incentives from Government and Ethanol Industry grants up to $30,000 to install E85 Fuel pumps
E85 is 85% Ethanol and 15% petroleum
NewWaveCars.com is an information resource discussing cars that run on fuels other than gasoline or diesel. This includes fuel cells, natural gas, hybrid cars, ethanol, biodiesel, but not electric. Sigh.
The Alternative Fuel Station Locator can search our database of refueling stations for the entire country to find stations offering alternative fuels. The site is a project of the U.S. Department of Energy.
