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.
Harlan Ellison wrote “The City on the Edge of Forever“, which is Star Trek fan-speak for “Harlan Ellison is awesome“. Mr. Ellison has been called a visionary futurist, and has written for The Outer Limits, The Man From UNCLE, Alfred Hitchcock, and – of course – Star Trek (it’s like “space navy”, whereas Star Wars [...]
Gas prices have stabilized around $3.55 a gallon, up 70-cents from this time a year ago. That isn’t so bad compared to the rest of the world, and yet these relatively minor fluctuations hurt us more than Europe. Why? Take a gander at this chart put together by Good.is and you’ll notice that, compared to [...]
“Wow” is not the kind of thing people usually get paid to write. “Wow” is the kind of thing you say when you’re staring, slack-jawed, at someone or something that has snuck past all of your genteel civilities and highly educated vocabulary and triggered something planted in you by a billion years of evolution and [...]
Obama has dreams of a high speed rail network connecting the U.S. 35 years from now. But these dreams date back to before Obama was born. How does a 1,000 mph jet train from New York to Los Angeles sound? A jet train you say? Why yes, why not. This design, by Doug Roulfe, comes [...]

Before we get to that, however, let’s look at the van as it is being [...]
While most car guys are dedicated to looks or performance, there’s a dedicated group of electric car enthusiasts who do their own EV conversions. David Cloud is one such fellow, and his ’97 Geo Metro “Dolphin” gets the equivalent of 214 mpg. I love the Geo Metro, because it is about as minimalist as cars [...]
Viewed from I-80 at about 70 mph, Elkhart, Indiana seems like RV production capital of the world, with massive factory, assembly plants, and signs for dealerships plainly visible from the road. As of last October, however, one of those many many thousands-of-square-feet buildings (formerly a Philips product plant for RV parts) has been occupied by [...]
Working on cars is my zen, and while Generation Y may not be as interested in cars as past generations, some Canadian kids are in the midst of building an electric drag racing pickup. Dig it. Americans fell in love with cars via auto racing and hot rodding, and I think to get a new [...]
