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 no secret; it does appear that gas will hit a national average of $4.00 a gallon very soon. Over the past year gas prices have increased rapidly, prices have jumped 30 cents from mid-March to mid-April alone to an average of $3.88 a gallon. This has a lot of people scratching their heads.

Early this morning, or late last night (if you’re Craig Bramscher and crew) Brammo unleashed a one-two punch on the electric motorcycle industry. Not only have they acquired an exclusive international license for SMRE’s patented Integrated Electric Transmission™ (IET), but they’re also expanding their line to include four new models, all featuring the IET™ and swappable Brammo Power battery packs.
