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.
Opel is expanding its lineup next year with a CNG powered version of its Zafira Tourer. The 10 GGE tank (which holds about 55 lbs of natural gas) should have a range of just over 300 miles – a record, Opel promises.

His success has no doubt influenced the influx of luxury electric cars flooding the upscale market. The latest to join the fray is Dartz [...]
