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 Dakar Rally is probably the most brutal automotive race in all the world (and its on my bucket list!) That isn’t stopping Alister McRae and his team from entering an all-electric dune buggy into the Dakar next year. This will be the second electrified vehicle to enter the grueling 5,500 mile race, as a [...]
It’s a crazy, crazy world out there, and while the subject of alternative fuels is very serious…we can have some fun with it too. And while we’re at it, why not give away from free t-shirts? We all love free stuff, so here’s your chance to win a free Hollywood Electrics t-shirt. Just go to [...]
The concept of tiny homes is not new- hello, yurt! But the small house movement has been more of a subculture, until, we hope, now. “Mainstream” construction company D.R. Horton’s introduction of 29 microhomes to Portland’s Division 43. D.R. Horton is taking advantage of an opening in the “nichest” of niche markets, Portland, OR, to [...]

Well no, not quite, but I think it says volumes about the day and age that we live in where the Carroll Shelby collaborates with Felt Bicycles [...]
Last fall when Jaguar introduced the C-X75 turbine-hybrid supercar, and while cool, nobody really thought they’d build this concept Defying expectations, Jaguar has announced plans to go forward with the C-X75, which will be the fastest Jag ever built. How different a production car will be from the twin-turbine-powered concept remains to be seen, though [...]
Turns out modern “clean” diesel engines purporting to be “green” are actually more “black” than they seem. Oooh, it rhymes. Anyway, that’s due to a nearly undetectable substance called “black carbon,” which sounds every bit as mysterious and science-y as dark matter. It’s basically the stuff that’s in soot, but because it’s so hard to [...]
