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.
It is hard to believe that just 100 years ago, most people still got around either by foot or (if they were lucky) on horseback. These days, many Americans don’t just drive cars; they couldn’t live without them. As cities continue to siphon off people from the suburbs though, many municipalities are looking for ways [...]
All the races for the American Le Mans Series should be on every green gearhead’s calender. After all, it has quickly become the greenest “conventional” racing series in America, and possibly even the world. They’ve done this by introducing new fuels and features into the series that promote innovation and fuel efficiency. In racing. You [...]
We (the royal we) have been asking car companies for electric vehicles and alternatives to gasoline for decades, though rarely in resounding force. Finally though, the message has gotten through. A lot more goes into a car than gas though; the production process is labor and material intensive, and many of the plastics and other [...]
Ford’s EcoBoost series of engines are my cup of turbocharged tea. Powerful, fuel efficient (at least in comparison to bigger engines with similar horsepower) and with a torque curve flatter than the Bonneville Salt Flats, it is everything an eco-concious gear head like me could want. And I’m not the only one. Gearheads are finding that the [...]
It has been awhile since I’ve talked about high speed trains here because, well, there hasn’t been a lot to talk about. America’s high speed rail system is slowly doling out money to Florida, the MidWest, and California, but it will be years before we see anything substantial. China, however, is moving ahead full speed [...]
There’s something about defecation that seems to both fascinate and revulse humans at the same time. In other words, there’s just something funny about poop and I can’t explain it. I will however, direct your attention to a poop-powered VW Bug built by some enterprising Brits. GENeco has streamlined a process that allows this VW [...]
Remember a few years back, when all of the sudden the market was flooded with hybrids? I’m not talking about the Prius or the Insight, genuine hybrid cars, but rather the “half-hybrids” cranked out by GM and Chrysler prior to their bankruptcy proceedings. There was the Saturn Vue Green Line, Cadillac Escalade Hybrid, the Chrysler [...]
15 years; a lot can happen in that time. Think back to 1995. What’s changed in your life since then? 9/11. Afghanistan. Iraq. $4 per gallon gas. Economy. Hell, I was just entering college. 15 years can allow for some pretty momentous change. So it’s easy to see why a company would set lofty goals [...]
