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.
Has your life ever been changed by a gadget? Apparently some of those who leased the Mini-E in 2009 adapted their lifestyles to suit their cars, and still claimed that the Mini-E suited 90% of their driving needs. Not too shabby. During the summer of 2009, BMW put all-electric Mini-E’s into the hands of about [...]
The current Toyota Prius still has no rival on a mpg-to-mpg comparison, though by 2012 that may change. The next Ford Fusion Hybrid could get as high as 48 mpg city rating, putting it almost on par with the Prius. This report comes from Ford Inside News, which also lists a number of other new [...]
It was a big weekend for Audi, which debuted a new e-Tron diesel plug-in Spyder. And after losing two of three cars to horrifying crashes, an Audi diesel went on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Audi just dominated the track and the news all weekend, starting with the debut of the e-Tron [...]
The industry is in a tough place right now. While there are a few companies working hard to create competitive sportbikes, many are not quite ready to race. Previous years’ fields were deeper because it was wide open. But perhaps now that people see what they’re up against (Brammo at Infineon, and Czysz in 2010 and 2011) I suspect a lot of the teams with smaller budgets are staying home.
The power potential of electric cars is enormous, and sports car makers are really starting to exploit that fact. The e-Wolf Alpha2 can sprint from 0-60 mph in under 4 four seconds…and will actually be built. Now while it is true that the Tesla Roadster is also capable of such crazy speeds, the Tesla lacks [...]
The Third Annual electric motorcycle race at the Isle of Man, now called TTZero, ran Friday. MotoCzysz was the team to beat with last year’s bike seriously updated and a completely new bike for 2011. Everyone expected Michael Rutter to break the ton, as he’d come so close last year at 92mph.
To what extent should one follow the law? That’s the question raised by a pissed-off New York City bicyclist, who was ticketed for riding outside the bike lane. His argument; sometimes the bike lane isn’t the safest place to be. First, I’d like to address this guy’s slight superiority complex. Stating “I’m doing the world [...]
Somewhere, underneath all that swirly black-and-white vinyl (swirly’s a word), is the new-for-2013 Mini Cooper. We don’t know a lot about the new Mini’s hardware yet, but here’s what the pictures tell us: from the longer wheelbase, we can see that the next Mini will be even less mini than the current, not-so-mini Mini. The [...]
