A lot of the major car companies these days are going green with regard to their cars, all in an attempt to conserve the natural environment. Lets take a look at a few of them shall we? Seems like everyone is going hybrid these days!
Green is directly opposite red, the unofficial official colour of Ferrari. That's fitting, since, on the rare occasions that they're fired up, the Italian supercar maker's big engines aren't the most fuel efficient. But among Ferrari's latest creations is the stunning 599GTB HY-KERS hybrid concept.
However patronizing the color choice, the 599GTB hybrid's greenness is more than skin-deep. A 100-hp electric motor mounted to the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission helps reduce CO2 emissions and increase fuel efficiency and it's wicked fast too!
However simplistic it might seem to be, the diesel-powered 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI gets the green thing right. It's put right up there with many a hybrid in terms of fuel economy and sheer eco-friendliness.
Even better, the Golf TDI is a slick, German hatchback that looks as good as its gas-powered counterpart while sucking down far less fuel. The Golf TDI allows you to keep your pocketbook relatively green as well.
Hybrid luxury sedans that fuel-economy gains are sometimes surprising. This Mercedes S400 is the first full luxo-hybrid makes the S-class model that is cheapest to buy and to operate look costly!
The hybrid components in it are not heavy as to excessively weigh down the car. I guess this could be your dream Merc when you decide to shell out big!

The spread of eco-friendly vehicles could spell doom for about two-thirds of Japan's 40,000 gas stations in the next decade, and, according to one observer, even render some rural communities uninhabitable. dress for eid More than 2,000 gas stations have been closing down annually in recent years, but this figure looks set to jump as more drivers opt for green cars that run on less fuel - or none at all. shalwar kameez Federation of Petroleum Product Dealers Associations (Zensekiren) estimates that if eco-friendly vehicles account for half of new car purchases and 20 percent of all vehicles in fiscal 2020, annual demand for gasoline will plunge to 40.88 million kiloliters, down 29 percent from fiscal 2008, salwar kameez designs while demand for light fuel oil will fall 15 percent to 28.66 million kiloliters. "In the worst-case scenario, only about 12,500 of the nation's gas stations, or fewer than one-third of the current figure, would still be operating in fiscal 2020," said an executive of Zensekiren, a nationwide body with a membership of about 20,000 petroleum product retailers. kurta If eco-friendly vehicles such as electric and gas-electric hybrid cars catch on even more than Zensekiren expects, filling stations could face an even bleaker future.
