What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.
As part of a new campaign launched by Toyota of Sweden, the company is asking all drivers, regardless of their allegiance to the Toyota brand, to imagine that they have a cup of water on their dashboard when driving. In so doing, Toyota says you can lower your fuel consumption by 10%.
For whatever reason, eco-designers seem to have this obsession with environmentally-sound air ships. Are the 1930′s back in vogue? Are there still people out there banking on a comeback for the zeppelin? Apparently so, because I have come across yet another eco-conscious air ship that looks good on paper, and likely won’t ever be more [...]
Ever get on a bus or train, only to wonder exactly when the last time this vehicle was serviced for regular maintenance? If so, you’re not alone. It is no secret that America’s bridges, roads, and public transportation systems are falling into a state of disrepair.

Toyota has come to dominate this field so much that many other companies, including Ford, have decided to license Toyota’s technology for their own hybrids. But was it Toyota’s technology to license in the first [...]
I’m not much of a fan of scooters. I prefer vehicles to have four wheels rather than too, and scooters always struck me as kinda geeky. Anybody who knows me knows I am geeky enough without having to broadcast it to the world. Scooters aren’t all that popular in America, but all over the world [...]
It is no secret that I get excited about auto racing. One of my favorite racing series is the American Le Mans (ALMS), which pits many factory-based cars against each other on some of the best tracks in the country. This weekend the race is coming to my home state of Connecticut (yes, I will [...]
