Consider
the Alternatives: Alternative Fueled Vehicles and Alternative Vehicle Fuels
Driving a car fueled by something other than
gasoline or diesel fuel is no longer the stuff of science fiction.
Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural
gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer

the use of alternative fuels. Congress also directed the FTC
to issue labeling requirements for alternative fuels and alternative
fueled vehicles.
