There are millions of people that own Gasoline Powered vehicles‚ but what most of them don’t know is that they cause so much pollution which is really bad for our Environment. It could also hurt us badly in the long run. The Primary reason we should switch to Electric Cars is because they could save the Environment we live in.

Outside the industrialized world‚ there are not enough refineries capable of producing unleaded gas‚ many cars had no catalytic converters‚ and if the cars ran on lower-octane unleaded gasoline‚ it would create more pollutants. The best option is for us is to aggressively phase out of the market place with a five year

the production of ethanol. The findings of the marketing audit revealed that the problem with using ethanol as fuel in a large-scale way comes down to two primary‚ related issues: • • There is not nearly as much energy in ethanol as there is in gasoline. Creating significant amounts of energy from food crops would deplete the amount of land available for growing actual food for people to eat. ____________________________________________________________ ____________ Ashwin S. 2 Marketing

P-Series is a type of renewable fuel which contains no petroleum. It can effectively substitute for gasoline. The mixture is made from 35% liquid by-products (also known as C5+ or Pentanes Plus) which are left over when natural gas is processed. 45% of the mixture comes from ethanol‚ which is made from an array of plants‚ such as corn and sugar cane‚ and
