Here is a great article that looks at the recent 24 Hours Of Le Mans race won by an Audi car that ran on Biodiesel. This is a huge step in the right direction in both the use of alternative fuels as well as the promotion of the use of alternative fuels. In reality, the use of biofuels in racing will not improve the environment a great deal... but the attention it brings can lead others to go in that direction too.

The Safest Way To Ship Your Vehicle

One of the hardest part about relocating or moving across the country, or any where in the world for that matter, is figuring out how to transport a vehicle from point A to point B. Moving clothing, electronics and other household items is easy, moving a few thousand pound car though is an entirely different prospect.

Luckily there is a website like Auto-Shipping-Transport.com that can handle all those details for anyone who finds themselves in that position. They offer Auto Transportation Worldwide and are fully insured. They handle the transportation and there is also automobile tracking available so you know exactly where your vehicle is at all times. It really is the safest way to ship your vehicle nationwide or around the world.

Hybrid Cars Are Another Way To Go

The price of fuel is impacting many people in many different ways. As the price climbs, people have made adjustments to their life that they may not have always wanted to make. Some people have cancelled long distance trips or vacations that they were planning on going on, others have traded in their gas guzzling vehicle for a vehicle that is more fuel efficient, and still others have taken more drastic steps like changing jobs or relocating so their daily commute is shorter.

For people looking into getting a new vehicle as a way to fight the fuel crunch, a look into alternative fuel powered vehicles is a must. One of the more popular types of vehicles out there are hybrid cars. Hybrid cars use a combination of a small electrical motor along with a more standard fuel engine in a way that saves a good deal of fuel during the operation of the car. Generally, the electric motor is used for driving at slower speeds and also to power the "non-essential" features of the car allowing the standard fuel engine to more efficiently focus just on powering the vehicle down the road.

Turning Algae Into Automobile Fuel

One of the most exciting parts of the thought of having the world make the transition to biofuel is the ability to in some cases make fuel from plants that don't already serve a large purpose in human existence. The process of turning algae into biofuel is one of these type of things. While algae serves a huge purpose ecologically, it isn't something that is already grown or manufactured for human consumption and at the same time can be farmed quickly in ponds setup for this type of operation. New ways of farming algae and producing biofuel are happening all the time, its an exciting time to be involved with emerging fuels.
