Doing some shopping.
What are anyone's favorite non-gasoline / non-diesel cars/trucks and why?
Thanks.

I'm not even sure I understand the question?
I guess that would be my Cannondale MTB

Ok. Good starting point.
In general, the "auto" part of automobile generally means that it runs on its own power, so -- again, generally -- that does not include pedal powered bicycles -- which in most any direction other than downhill are powered by humans, and sometimes trained Russian circus bears. But I think you probably already knew that?
For the fuel or power portion, as you may also know, many automobiles are powered by Gasoline or Diesel, which are generally fed through an Internal Combustion Engine, which turns a mechanical drive train, and in turn, the wheels. But you already knew that, too, am I correct?
Sooooo. The question is regarding Automobiles . . . which run on Other than Gasoline / Diesel. |

Great. Thanks for the non-information.
Things pretty slow around your house this morning, I guess?
Winter set in on the biking weather? Or do you bike through the snow, and all?
Mrs. Phil did a few miles around the lake here (Texas) this morning.

I guess the Civic since that runs on natural gas. I liked my electric big wheels when I was a kid, so that'd be my second favorite. Third favorite Tesla Model S... it's similar in price/performance to a Panamera but it's not butt ugly. Then again, I'd rather have a CTS-V wagon for half the price and not worry about range anxiety. $60,000 buys a lot of gas.

This engine last went from my house in Wyoming, to Skagway Alaska (2475 miles. 112 days). It burned no Gasoline, no Diesel. It pulled good, was consistant, no break downs.
This picture was taken when we had two Senior EPA inspectors checking for emissions.
The Alaskan trip.

If you're doing some shopping, can you narrow it down a bit? Price, size, range, etc? Help us help you, and you'd likely not have gotten the comments you've gotten thus far. |
