This new car that they have invented gets much better gas mileage than the older diesel engines that were in old trucks and cars. Vehicles in this day and time are nothing like what they used to be. Over half of the car manufacturers are now trying to build new cars and trucks to be as fuel efficient as they can be. Although hybrids conserve more gas than standard vehicles do, they use gas, also. Hybrids do not use as much gas as the ol... ... middle of paper ... ...o an electric outlet to recharge the vehicle while it is parked.

The battery sends its energy to the electric motor, which then begins to turn. Finally, the power created from the motor is then transferred to the wheels. The batteries that the electric car uses would not last a long time and take a long period of time to recharge, this was the main problem. This was not suitable for consumers that drive often and travel far distances when traveling. While the batteries in electric cars do not last long, electric cars are better than gasoline cars, they do not need gasoline to operate and do not pollute the earths air, which saves money and time that would normally be spent in refueling.

The first disadvantage is that they have low mileage. The normal gasoline vehicle can run for more than 400 km with a full tank. However, the electric car can only run for 200 km or less from when they are fully charged. Another disadvantage is that battery packs are extremely expensive. It depends on the brand or type of electric car but the average price of a battery pack is US$100.

The emissions which are carbon-based are the number one cause of global warming. A hybrid car can emit 25 to 90 percent less emission than a gasoline engine car. Hybrids create low levels of gas fumes from the exhaustion... ... middle of paper ... ...se of the electric system in the car. A lot of car buyers cannot afford the extra $5,000 to 10,000 to buy a car that may or may not save you money with better fuel efficiency. Most people today cannot save enough money to purchase a hybrid car.

Diesel is a more concentrated type of fuel that is usually used by big automobiles because they require a lot of power in a little amount of time. Electricity is a method that uses the power of batteries to produce a low horsepower but, nevertheless fast automobile. Electric cars are generally created to be soundless and environment friendly. The purpose of this paper is to classify and educate the reader of the different types of fuel available for an automobile to use: petrol, diesel, and electricity. The general petrol, used by most people, is usually the only type of fuel accepted on the average car in the United States today.

I believe that gas powered vehicles are better because gas powered cars have more function ability. The range that electric vehicles have is poor compared to gas vehicles. Electric vehicles don 't function very well when the weather is cold. You 'll need to charge your car pretty much every night. You are only going to be able to go 80 mph.

The difference primarily between solar and electrical power is the fact that solar cars would be much more expensive to make. The possibilities of making a cost efficient electric car are much more realistic than making a cost efficient solar car. By making the ecologically safe and inexpensive electric car, the pollution caused by gasoline powered cars would go down. Without making these changes, the globe will continue to heat up at an annual rate of .

Methanol (m85) Gasoline has been the traditional fuel for most vehicles. It gives us a lot of energy when in our cars but sadly like any other material in the world, it has a limited supply and if we don’t find an alternative fuel we could be doomed. Such alternatives that have showed promising results are methanol (m85), in which we will discuss its advantages and disadvantages to gasoline. But first lets explain how gasoline works. Vehicles that use gasoline have a 4-stroke engine, which uses the gasoline to create an internal combustion to power the vehicle.

If the price of oil gets too high, how will Americans get around? Of course there are the hydrogen powered cars, and the hybrid cars, or even the electric cars, but these are still far from being perfected, and will need oil in one way or another. The hydrogen powered car uses fuel cells to create power. A fuel cell is a device that creates energy by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. A car powered by fuel cells would create almost no pollution, and have nearly 80% efficiency.

On the other hand the non plug in hybrid cannot propel the vehicle under the batteries power. The engine is needed to move the car, but when you are at a stop light or just coasting the engine will shut off and the battery will take over. This vehicle charges its battery through regenerative braking, which captures the energy lost when braking. The savings you gain from a non plug in hybrid are not nearly as much as the plug in hybrid but there is still a decent amount of money saved. Fully electric vehicles are becoming more and more prevalent in our society since they have longer ranges and they are now easier to
