What's your favorite alternative fuel?

Apr 24, 2007 10:45AM PDT

What's your favorite alternative fuel, and why do you think it's the best? Does it offer a possible long-term replacement to gasoline? I've covered some current alternative fuels in my column, Your clean, green car choices.

BTW....^^^THAT......is NOT an HHO generator which needs a catalysis to work properly like what most ppl(ill informed about the difference between running on Hydrogen and HHO gas) are installing in their car for better mileage on their car/truck....in the link above is a water fuel cell...pour water and it goes....nothing else needed.....but with an HHO generator you need the baking soda,white vinegar,etc to get it working

Water as an alternative fuel?
Nov 5, 2008 3:09PM PST

I have made a blog about alternative fuels and i list pros and cons for each but when i was researching i read about water as an alternative. i saw a site that said their business has come up with a device that can make your car run on water and gas which can let you get 64 mpg. My question is, is it possible? I know rumors have been circulating around that water can be used but i don't know if it is true or not. i will post the link to my blog where i have the link to the site that says all of that. They also have videos showing how it works but im just not sure. if someone could check it out and tell me what they think i would appreciate it. Thank you very much.

There are a ton of these systems available as e-book downloads on sites such as Clickbank. I am in the process of starting a site devoted to reviewing such systems. Check it out if you want to it's called Driveordrink.com.

Methanol and Ethanol
Feb 9, 2011 10:19PM PST

Methanol can be used as jet fuel. Ethanol and Methanol both burn cleanly and do not contribute air pollution. Both fuels are renewable and are better for your engine because they burn cleanly.
