Every time you see the advertisement for environmental awareness, the pang of guilt brews up. It doesn’t get better when you see your oil hungry car in the garage. But do you know that you can still care for the environment: How?
Bio-diesel: If your car is running on diesel, you can shift to biodiesel. Biodiesel is nothing but a mixture of diesel and vegetable oil. So, you can switch between regular diesel and biodiesel. Also, you can alter your car to run on pure vegetable oil. Thus you have reduced emission, though you’ll be forced to change the filter often because of the smog.
Ethanol: This is a crop based fuel as ethanol is eight five percent ethanol and fifteen percent gasoline. The emission and the cost are lesser than for gasoline. Since it is a wheat based fuel it could be grown unlike oil. However it has come under the scanner as wheat used for human consumption are being diverted to produce ethanol.
Hybrid cars: People, who want an eco-friendly car, opt for hybrids as are aware of them from crafty advertisements. Hybrid cars capture the potential energy whenever the break is applied. This stored energy is then used whenever needed, saving on fuel. The mileage is good at about 50-60 miles per gallon and it can be fuelled like ordinary cars as they run on gasoline. However, they are expensive and options are limited.
Natural gas: Natural gas is, yes, a derivative of crude oil but comparatively the energy is cleaner and is better for the environment. You’d have seen many vehicles on CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as it’s cheaper and a fuel to brag about-“Hey, I use a Car running on CNG”.
