You hear about global warming, scarcity of food and water, lack of livable space, air pollution, and the like. These days, even cars are contributing to make our world a better place. Revolutionary green cars are on the market for you and mother nature. These vehicles have more than what meets the eye. For one, they run on different fuel ranging from hybrid gas and electric to natural gas usage. Moreover, these cars have their specific ‘green ratings’ based on the Environmental Defense Org, which covers major environmental costs of a motor vehicle including the following:
1) Unhygienic smog from the tailpipes
2) Greenhouse emissions that caused global warming
3) Amount of fuel consumption
4) Manufacturing pollution from the vehicle
The following green cars can never lead you astray from mother nature’s way:
2008 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT– Other than its satellite linked navigation system, GPS and DVD Navigation Aids, this car runs on hybrid feeds–gasoline engine boosted by an electric motor. It runs more silently than conventional cars. At low speeds, it does not require gas burning, so no emissions is spewed on the tailpipe. Although the whole engine structure is not as simple as a decorative wall clock device, it’s worth the price considering it is mainly computer-operated. The computer signals when to use the gasoline feed or electric motor and when to use both. The electric motor gets its juice from a set of nickel metal hydride batteries, which makes this dude fuel efficient and reduces big time global warming by minimizing tailpipe emissions. A nature friendly luxury with a green rating of 84 of 100.
2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan TDi — This car model might not be as advanced compared to other modern green cars, but be ready to set your travel alarm clocks and enjoy a healthy ride with less greenhouse emissions by 60-100%. This wheels on a Biodiesel fuel, an alternative fuel used in regular unmodified diesel engines. Imagine that! no modification cost plus engine combustion is better than conventional diesel. Moreover, because its extracted natural plant oils and animal fats, its sulphur free and 11% oxygen by mass. Green rating is 71 of 100.
2008 Chevrolet Impala 50th Anniversary — Like your favorite howard miller clocks, this model green car has all-speed traction control. Aside from that major plus, it also runs on ethanol fuel that reduces emission big time. Conversion process of biomass to ethanol produced less emissions compared to gasoline production. What’s more, ethanol compatible engines can also operate on gasoline when needed. This alternative fuel is also considered to be one of the best options for renewable fuel source. Green Rating: 61 of 100
2008 Honda Civic GX — This is probably the best natural gas car that runs on the road today. Considered to have the cleanest alternative fuel, it functions on a natural gas modified engine and has nearly zero tailpipe emissions. Less expensive than gasoline, longer life expectancy for the engines and a bonus of low maintenance cost. Anything else in mind? This natural gas baby packs it all!
