What You Should Know About Alternative Fuel Vehicles
Vehicles powered by alternative fuels are getting more popular every day. Alternative fuel has many advantages: it is cleaner, less harmful to the planet and often less expensive than regular gasoline. Unfortunately only a few special cars will run on these fuels as they require a special engine.
The good news is that all big car companies are coming out with their own cars that run on alternative fuels. These vehicles, called Alternative Fuel Vehicles of AFVs, are designed to run either just on these new fuels or on a combination of regular gasoline and alternative fuels (the so called “hybrid” cars).
Some popular alternative fuel vehicles include:
Honda Insight
Dodge Stratus Sedan
Dodge Durango SUV
Chevrolet Silverado 4 x 2
Chevrolet Tahoe SUV
Chevy Yukon SUV
Nissan Titan Pickup
These are only some of the many AFVs available, with more coming out every day. Car manufacturers realize that consumers want these more environmentally friendly cars. This is why they are producing so many of them these days. Unfortunately alternative fuel vehicles are still quite expensive when compared to regular cars. You will usually have to pay about $3000 to $10,000 more.
Some US states offer special tax incentives for alternative fuel vehicles, which can make up somewhat for this higher cost. States such as California and Texas also offer special commuting exemptions to owners of alternative fuel vehicles.
Alternative fuel vehicles really are the wave of the future and offer many benefits. They are still a bit expensive, but for those who can afford them they are well worth the price.
