http://automobiles.honda.com/models/civic_gx_phill.asp?ModelName=Civic+GX This car, a Honda Civic GX, was granted North America's greenest car award. It uses natural gas as its source of fuel. How do you fill up? http://www.myphill.com/ FuelMaker has taken the lead by offering convenience for the alternative fuel vehicle. They (FuelMaker) installs a natural gas pump right in the your home, so you can fill up without any excuses of not being able to find enough gas stations. This is first being offered in California, USA, then shortly after in France. If you are on the road and are nearly out of gas, no worry, as California has many natural gas pump stations. http://www.cngvc.org/ngv/cngvc.nsf/bytitle/cal.htm The black dots are the fueling stations. And, many states offer financial incentives for vehicles that meet American state and Federal standards of alternative fuel. http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/progs/search_state.cgi?afdc|US "A $2,000-$50,000 federal income tax deduction is available for the incremental cost to purchase or convert qualified clean fuel vehicles. Up to $4,000 federal tax credit is available for 10% of the purchase price of an EV. " AND, http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/laws/incen_laws.html Here you can see the many American states that offer different kinds of incentives of purchasing a alternative fuel vehicle. And, in California, people who purchase an alternative fuel vehicle can drive in the fast lane...a lane intended for vehicles with only multiple passengers, as to give incentive for people who carpool by providing a lane that isn't jammed up with traffic. The incentive to carpool, which has been around for a while, reduces the amount of vehicles on the road as to reduce car emissions. This, I think, will catch on with the rest of the world after America and France toghether lead the way.
