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.
Being that I work at home, from a desk, I do my best to try to maintain some semblance of an active lifestyle. I take daily walks, I play hockey (ice and roller), and hiking is my favorite time killer. While I don’t envy city dwellers, I am jealous that they can actually walk out [...]
Airplanes are often considered an “efficient” mode of travel because they can transport hundreds of passengers great distances on comparatively little fuel.

Apparently the car community is all aflutter because GM “lied” about the Volt. Every blogger and auto journalist is shocked, shocked that a company like GM [...]
Could a bio-oil based on biomass eventually replace the oil used in our asphalt?
I was lucky enough to attend the Northeast Grand Prix this year during the ALMS racing series. I’ve never been to such an amazing display of raw power, side-by-side with so much green technology. This is literally the technology that will power tomorrow’s cars… so it should come as no surprise that the race was [...]
