Four Ways to Improve the Eco-Friendliness of your Automobile

The use of hybrids and electric vehicles is not for everyone due to the expense and practicality of switching to battery power, not everyone wants to or is able to do so. Regardless of whether you’re a die-hard petrolhead or just drive a car to travel from A to B, there are several methods to make your vehicle more environmentally friendly and that is what we will discuss within this article.

Monitor your Tyre Pressure

To put it another way, under-inflated tyres are less efficient than inflated tyres, which means that your engine must work more to move your vehicle. Maintaining proper tyre pressure, which results in your vehicle burning more gasoline, is one of the most straightforward things you can do to improve your fuel economy.…

Electric Cars Uptake Rises in 2021 – We Look at Why

They’ve come a long way in the last 10 years and they’ll be going even further in the next thanks to ever increasing battery reliability and range.

But jokes and puns aside, these beautiful, green vehicles are as quiet as they are comfortable and even the low end models tend to offer exciting performance thanks to the inherently responsive nature of the electric motor.

Further to this, the relatively compact nature of said motor when compared to a combustion engine leaves plenty of extra room to be incorporated into cabin space, meaning even the small models are surprisingly roomy.

Team all of the above with features and specification that would generally be reserved for higher end marques and it’s no surprise to hear that electrical vehicle uptake is on the rise in certain markets.

If you’re yet to experience the magic of driving without gears and pulling away in near complete silence, then we suggest you book yourself a test drive in something that fits your budget. If you remain unconvinced, see how you feel once you reach the bottom of this page where we cover two important topics, Charging and Apps!…

Benefits Of Owning An Electric Car?

When electric cars were first introduced to the consumer market, we all know that at some point in the future that they would be the future of the automatic industry and would replace all fuel-alternative cars at some point. Although, when they first hit the market, there were many limitations to the EV market which ensured that they weren’t successful as they were first predicted to be, however as technology has developed and rapidly evolved, the EV market has been able to as well, so the benefits for owning an electric car now are far greater than that of a fuel alternative.

Energy for a Future America: Ethanol and Gasohol

Ethanol is one of many alcohols. Specifically it is ethyl alcohol — the same alcohol that is in alcoholic drinks like wine, beer, and whiskey. Commonly made from the fermentation of various grains, it is sometimes called grain alcohol. Ethanol has many chemical and physical properties that make it desirable for industrial uses as a solvent in medicines or fragrances since it is generally not harmful when it contacts the skin or ingested in small quantities.

Ethanol is Easily Produced from Grains or Pure Sugar

The production of ethanol dates back to antiquity. Humans realized that the fermentation of fruits and grains produced substances similar to modern beers and wines which produced a relaxing intoxicating effect.

The modern production of ethanol from corn differs from the ancient method in the ability to concentrate the ethanol to nearly 100%. Modern plants are high-tech moonshine stills that produce a cleaner product in large quantities.

Moonshiners use sugar to produce a reasonably high percentage of alcohol. As a beverage, it is of questionable purity and taste and sometimes deadly due to impurities, but they achieve over 90% ethanol.…
