Powering Your Car Without Gasoline
Yes, it's really possible! Power Your Car WITHOUT Gasoline! is now available to offer you real alternatives to escalating fuel costs in operating your automobile.
The price of crude oil just topped $100 barrel for the first time, promising to push gasoline pump prices higher than ever before. This scary situation is due to: (1) threatened disruptions in supply from hostile governments; (2) terrorist actions; (3) speculation; (4) refinery shut-downs; (5) weather variables; and (6) the possible near-term peaking of global oil reserves.
Here in the United States, long used to below $3 gallon gasoline, price increases and shortages are beginning to revive interest in conservation, and mandate new technologies and alternative fuels. Power Your Car Without Gasoline!! summarizes what the author, a solar energy and alternative fuels consultant, believes are the nation’s six best approaches to oil-free automobile propulsion available in America today.
Over a year of research and preparation has gone into this study (updated 2007) to determine if it is possible, here and now, to run our cars without gasoline--or considerably less of it. The author has turned up evidence that even the car technologies of today can run on “bio-fuels” with, in some cases, a minimum of mechanical retrofitting. (And some of these fuels can be made on site--even in your own garage!--for less than $1 gallon!)
In other cases new technologies like The Tesla and the Air Car, ready to hit the streets (the latter propelled entirely from compressed air), promise to clean our environment and greatly reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Power Your Car Without Gasoline!! looks at the pros and cons of many of the more well known alternatives to gasoline dependency, including hydrogen fuel cells, pure EV’s (electric vehicles), hybrids, and little-known existing automotive technologies powered by biodiesel and alcohol/ethanol. Serious attention is given to an analysis of the future of automobile transportation based on the needs for smaller, lighter cars that may or may not go the speeds we have become accustomed to. And no stone is left unturned to give you the most current, practical information you will need if you are serious about getting out of gas lines, temporarily or forever. Many unique websites are included for more information.
The publication of Power Your Car Without Gasoline! may, no doubt, surprise many who are convinced that our society is incapable of making the transition to better transportation technologies any time soon. Its contrarian conclusions will, hopefully, help set the major auto manufacturers on new courses, and help eliminate the extortion tactics of petroleum exporting countries we have grown to accept as necessary everyday partners.
The book also includes a fascinating two page reprint/article, "Why Convert a Gas(oline) Car to Electric?", originally published in Home Power Magazine.
What They're Saying About Power Your Car Without Gasoline!
"I think you have done a good job at outlining the problems and dispersing the fog on certain popular delusions (especially hybrid engines). And [this research] does comprise a thorough argument on alt. fuels."
--James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency (Surviving the Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century)
"Thanks for your information on vehicle fuel efficiency. I am in the process of beginning a fuel efficiency program with the Consumer Federation. I will keep your material handy."
--Jack Gillis, Director, Fuel Efficiency Program, Consumer Federation of America, Washington D.C.
