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.
The initial roll out of an all-new vehicle usually happens gradually. Take the 2008 Challenger, which was intially only available in its top-most trim level, the SRT8 6.1 liter Hemi V8. It was a lot of car, and cost over $40,000 brand (though many people paid a lot more than that). Chrysler sold just 7,199Challengers [...]
Who would have thought that exotic car brands would all of the sudden strive to be at the front of the pack when it comes to hybrid technology. Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche especially stick out as brands promising to produce hybrid supercars in the coming years. Porsche has taken to hybrids with gusto, recently debuting [...]
I’m not one of these “America is in decline” types I see on television all the time. I believe we remain a strong, fundamentally sound country that like every other country has its share of problems. We just have so many television stations that our problems seem amplified when there are fifty thousand talking heads [...]
I don’t buy into the whole “cities are the greenest places to live” argument for one main reason; food. Cities import 99.9% of the food they consume, often from great distances away. It takes something like 12 acres of food to feed a single person for one year. Multiply that by the millions that live [...]
This summer I drove through 29 states in just six weeks, covering over 12,000 miles. That…is a lot of driving, and I got a little taste of each state when it came to how it was to drive. While I don’t much care for the heat, I found the Southwest to be largely devoid of [...]
I’ll admit that sometimes, I make fun of people on motorized tricycles. I’m not talking about the pedal bikes here, but those big cruisers that are as wide as a car. I just don’t get it I guess, and I always thought they looked silly sitting in the middle of a pack of motorcycles. Then [...]
Ethanol is probably the single most controversial of alternative fuels. There are plenty of arguments against it. You’re taking away from food production, it isn’t as efficient as gasoline, so on and so forth. The big thing it has going for it though is that it isn’t oil. More corn in our cars means less [...]
I guess I am one of the lucky ones, because growing up, I always knew what I wanted to be. I wanted to write. It wasn’t until I got my driver’s license though that I figured out what I wanted to write about. Cars. I just love cars, and I would read every car magazine [...]
