Hybrids are definitely the most popular type of “green” car on the road, but are there other options? Indeed there are many different options for vehicles that run on alternative fuels, and the surprising thing is that these other options are much cleaner running than hybrids.
CNG cars are very popular in today’s market. There are some factory made cng vehicles out there, but Chrysler and GM stopped making them in 2004. These companies created flex fuel E85 cars to suffice the alternative fuel law.
There is no need to fear if you cannot find a factory made car on the market. You can add a cng conversion kit to any type of car, even diesel engines! These kits are amazing as they maximize your engine power, miles per gallon, and your engine life. Many cng engines have gone 1 million miles before dying.
CNG cars are really better for the environment than hybrid vehicles. Natural gas burns 90% cleaner than gasoline. This clean burning means your engine will last a long long time before giving out. Natural gas is also all made in the USA. By buying natural gas you are no longer relying on the big foreign oil companies to power America’s cars.
Dual Fuel vehicle mean that a car can run off of natural gas and with the flip of a switch it can run on regular gas. These bi fuel vehicles are ideal because if you are ever in an area that does not have a cng fill station, you can still drive your car. Bi fuel vehicles still have a much longer lasting engine life than that of a regular gasoline car.
