With America?s energy policy being batted around like a political tennis ball, questions concerning the validity of alternative fueled and hybrid vehicles are becoming more prevalent. The problem, says the Car Care Council, is not with the fuels or the vehicles, but with public perception.
?Americans seem to have a stereotype of energy efficient vehicles that are not powered by fossil fuels,? says Donna Wagner, president of the Council. ?They think these cars have a top speed of 30 mph and an extension cords. That?s not how it works in the new millennium.?
?While Wagner admits that consumers will become more interested and better educated about these advances, she thinks that initially, car manufacturers and consumers will be engaged in a game of Truth or Dare.
?The manufacturers are going to have to be very truthful about their product claims,? she explains. ?And the motorists who invest in these products will have to dare to be among the first using the new technology.
Just as the cassette tape was better than the 8-track, one or more of these systems probably will become the norm. The big question is, ?Which one?? One thing is for certain, folks will continue to be skeptical until they see their neighbor driving a hybrid vehicle or a truck powered by hydrogen. ?
Other fuels that provide an alternative to fossil fuels include:
- ?Biodiesel
- Electric Fuel
- Ethanol
- Hydrogen
- ?Methanol
- Natural Gas (CNG/LNG)
- Propane (LPG)
- P-Series
- Solar Fuel
