Electric And Hybrid Cars
We all know that something needs to be done about the state of our environment. After all, if we continue the trend that we have started of polluting and damaging the world around us, it may not be able to continue to provide us with the healthy elements we require for a healthy life. But solutions to the environmental issues are few and far between. Take our transportation situation, for example. We have become a society that is increasingly dependent on the use of cars to get around, as our world and neighborhoods have become bigger and more spread out. But cars are known polluters, and the cost of gas is beginning to limit the distances that we want to drive. We need a solution to this dilemma, and two of the possibilities that scientist...
Biodiesel Conversion
These days people are more concerned than ever about the the development of alternate sources of fuel to replace dependency on oil. Some countries such as Brazil and Thailand have used ethanol to fuel cars. Solar and electric power are also alternative systems that have been considered as well as the art of biodiesel conversion where organic matter may be converted into a diesel substitute in engines.

Ethanol Distillation Facts
Due to the crazy rise of fuel price and the instability of the fuel market more and more people and trying all kind of alternative fuels, some people are just fed up with spending all their hard earned money to some countries that change the fuel price, usually with reasons that have almost nothing to do with fuel production cost. During the last 3 years there has been a constant and very sharp rise in the price of fuel, some of it was because of the ?Katrina? disaster but most of it because of the fuel producing countries controlling this market.

Top 3 Hybrid Cars
I believe there are three main hybrid cars out there that are the best of the best. The Honda Civic hybrid, Honda Insight, and Toyota Prius are the three main hybrids leading the market to date. Out of those three competing cars I think I have found the best one for the price. It's a pretty simple decision when you compare price with features. #3 Honda Insight Honda's Insight retails for $20,380 which is the cheapest price of all three hybrid cars but not by much. Now the reason I am rating this one in last place is because of it only being a two-seater and not having the top mpg score. However it does take a 2nd place in that category producing 57 city and 56 highway mpg. Also the Insight averaged a score of only four for the front crash tests. Now the engine only produces 71hp and can do 0-60 in 10.7 seconds. All in all I think the other vehicles were a better deal for the money. #2 Honda Civic Hybrid The Honda Civic has been around forever, but the new hybrid is a new trick for an old dog. With an MSRP of $20,900 it is the most expensive of all three cars. Unfortunately for the higher price you don't get better performance. The fuel economy in the Civic hybrid is the worst of all three cars; it gets 47 city Mpg and 48 highway Mpg. What differs from the Insight is that the car can hold 5 people that make it much more functional in my opinion. The engine produces 93 hp pushing it to 0-60 in 12.1 which is the slowest of all three cars. The Civic scored a 5 on its front crash test rating. #1 Toyota Prius The Prius by Toyota is one of the nicest of all three cars I evaluated. The cars manufacturer suggested retail price is $20,875 which is only 25 dollars cheaper than the civic but still cheaper. The Prius has 110 horsepower and can do 0-60 in 10.2 which is the fastest of all three cars. Also the Toyota is not only the fastest and most powerful but it gets 60 mpg city and 51 highway mpg. The car scored an average of 4.5 on its front crash test rating. What sets this apart from the Insight is that it is a mid size car that hold five people comfortably with some trunk room to boot.
