I have been quite disturbed lately by the loss of interest in reduction of our dependence on foreign oil through the purchase of gas saving vehicles like hybrids. It seems that now, we are happy to pay $2.00-$3.00 per gallon, a price we cried about a year ago.
Let’s think about the impacts of this. When gas prices are high, oil companies invest in new technology to find cheaper hydrocarbon sources. When oil prices get back down below $75 per gallon, their incentives are less. If we do not continue with methods of reducing our need for gas, the fuel oil requirements of a cold winter could put us right back at $100 per barrel oil.
Enter Sigma Automotive. They make retrofit kits to convert your vehicle from gasoline to what they call “AUTOGAS”:. Autogas is compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied propane (LP) or liquified natural gas (LNG) used to power automotive engines. This technology has been available and proven for over ten years. Many of our cities use autogas for buses and city vehicles. Emissions are less, it costs up to 40% less than gasoline and more importantly, it reduces our depandance on foreign oil.
This is a great alternative for people who are tired of gas prices, but don’t want to or can’t afford to buy a new vehicle. There are likely other companies just like Sigma, who are focusing on this important sector. This is a great way to reduce cost, eliminate dependance on oil, and it is good for the environment.
