There are people out there that prefer to shop online; sometimes the shipping costing
less than gasoline.
Not only are electric motors three times more
efficient than gasoline engines, but they also enable cars to run on wind power at a gasoline - equivalent cost of 75 cents a gallon.
Currently the climate is that diesel powered vehicles and diesel fuel is more
expensive than gasoline powered vehicles and gasoline which is not a winning combination to most American consumers.
Natural gas vehicles have been found to produce less greenhouse gas emissions
than gasoline vehicles, but very little natural gas consumption is currently used for transportation fuel.
The country would be spending billions in loans, tax incentives and price guarantees to lock in a technology that produces more greenhouse
gases than gasoline does.
The instant - on power delivery from the electric powertrain also helps it feel quicker
than the gasoline model, though they're both actually pretty slow.
Back in the summer, I took issue with some studies claiming that in some parts of the country, electric cars produce more
emissions than their gasoline counterparts.
Besides, there's natural gas which is
worse than gasoline for transportation, but is still a very much feasible option.
It's said that ethanol is capable of more power
than gasoline in an engine exclusively designed for it.
Per mile of travel, methane also produces about one - third less climate - warming carbon
dioxide than gasoline and diesel.
Many studies have also shown ethanol can actually result in higher overall greenhouse emissions and require greater quantities of
water than gasoline.
Studies that do factor in land use change show that using food crops to produce biofuels — once considered a promising climate change mitigation strategy — is worse for the
climate than gasoline.
While many consumers understand diesel engines sound
louder than gasoline models, this isn't always the case.
The RAV4 hybrid is at the top of the hybrid - electric crossover market, providing 12 more
mpg than its gasoline counterpart.
Whatever you call it, whether you drink it or race with it, it's a totally different
animal than gasoline.
The high - powered model is expected to carry a 3.0 - liter diesel engine that will predictably carry less
horsepower than the gasoline version.
Generally delivers better fuel economy and more pulling power than a comparable gas engine, but requires the use of diesel fuel, which is harder to
find than gasoline and often costs more.
Advocates argue that ethanol burns
cleaner than gasoline, and studies show that it does reduce certain pollutants.
Additionally, diesel engines deliver more efficient fuel
economy than gasoline engines and maximize fuel efficiency at idle, making them ideal for tasks requiring prolonged idle time.
In fact, there's ample evidence to suggest that ethanol production may actually end up generating more carbon
pollution than gasoline.
It is expensive, and at best produces only slightly less greenhouse
gas than gasoline.
Those who worried about coal - fueled electricity didn't get that electric motors are four times more efficient
than gasoline engines.
It drives like a regular gasoline - powered car but produces 20 to 30 percent less greenhouse gas
emissions than a gasoline or diesel car.
