New Honda New cars review 2009

Newer cars are coming out that get better fuel mileage than the older models. Also, there are all sorts of fuel additives that are able to increase your cars mpg.

In the first place, why do we cling to gasoline as our fuel source? Many other sources have materialized that can give power to a vehicle. There are technical as well as economical agents involved. There are certain citizens that have an invested interest in keeping gasoline as our main source of fuel who will want to make sure that it stays that way.

There are certain types of alcohols that can be applied as an alternative fuel for cars that have already been used in the past century to power cars. The electrical energy is stored in the shape of batteries.

Hybrid cars have been built to use electrical energy from both gasoline and battery storage. These cars run by battery, kicking the fuel engine in only when needed. The gas engine doesn’t usually kick in unless you are accelerating at a high speed or if you are going up a hill. This causes these cars to get much better miles per gallon of fuel.

One possibility would be hydrogen, which is much cleaner for the environment, but at the present time it takes up too much space which causes a problem with storage during transport.

There is also a water system being sold today that can be attached to your cars fuel system.There has been reportings of up to a 30% increase, and even a little more, of fuel efficiency. This is really good for many people who are concerned about getting high fuel efficiency, however it is highly recommended to check with a professional to see if your cars warranty will still be honored if this system is added to your vehicle.

You can also find other potential alternative fuel sources as well.

Even though gasoline fuel is not friendly for the environment,it does have a few friendly facets in regards to it. For a little bit of fuel it produces lots of zip! All of the alternatives each have their own effects in terms of how viable they are, both economically as well as environmentally.

For example, a fuel called ethanol, is produced from sugar cane or corn crops and is an inebriant that can be blended with gasoline up to a ratio of approximately 85% ethanol to 15% gasoline. A great deal of land is required to produce sufficient amounts of ethanol. It takes about 1 gallon of ethanol to give about 2/3 of the energy of 1 gallon of gasoline. When ignited it still creates a substantial amount of carbon dioxide, therefore it is not hugely environmentally friendly.

Another potential answer for an alternative fuel for cars in the future are batteries that store solar energy, but technology is not enough advanced at this point to provide adequate energy to run a vehicle as compared to cars running on gasoline.

Another potential solution would be atomic energy. But this, as well, has has various possible cons such as the yield of nuclear waste. The current use of nuclear power would increase by approximately nine times.

So, even though we would all be happy to get free from gas as our primary source of power to energize our cars and to have an alternative fuel for cars there are economic as well as technical matters which need to be mastered before this can be accomplished to our satisfaction in order to resolve our optional power sources.

First Electric mini car to hit roads of Japan is as early as 2009. Now it seems just around the corner, by the efforts of (MMC) Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. It is believed that other automakers worldwide are also making same efforts to make important announcements in terms of ‘eco cars’.

Research

MMC started a joint research with Tokyo Electric Power Company, and The Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc., in November 2006 and with Kyushu Electric Power Co., Ltd, in January 2007. The new research EV (electric vehicle) is based on MMC’s “i” mini-car, and named “i MiEV” which mean “Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle”. i MiEV is powered by a compact and lightweight motor and high-energy density lithium-ion batteries. After removing the i’s (a sister car by MMC) combustion engine mounted on the platform with an original rear-midship layout, a single motor (*2) is mounted in its place. i MiEV became electric-powered with few modifications of the body structure.

Since her first display at the 22nd International Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition (EVS-22) at Pacifico Yokohama in Yokohama on October 23 - 28, 2006, the performance is highly revolutionized from a test vehicle to a real commercial project. By the assistance of Japanese government, this mini electric vehicle will hit the roads of Japan as soon as 2009.

Performance

Since her first display there is remarkable overall improvement in every respect. The battery system is improved to run without any major knock-down for continuous 10 years. The commercial viability has become possible by continuous efforts to bring down the overall costs and simultaneously creating a CO2 free environment. This EV neither emits CO2 and nor makes any engine sound which makes it so dear and irresistible to many countries world-wide.

This revolutionary mini EV can run at a high speed of 140mph. The batteries can be recharged via cable plugged to 110V/220V house sockets. Full battery charge is done in total 14 hours plugged-in and no need for another charge till 140Kms. , i MiEV shows stronger torque, quieter noise and less vibration, which are natural advantages of EVs.

Price and economy 

MMC is planning to put a high JPY4.0M (Approx.USD$38,000) price tag, which includes the research costs. Looks like non practical and out of reach, therefore Government of Japan is aiding of max. JPY1.0M (approx.USD$9500) to help end consumers. Obviously there is a great factor of clean environment involved and if you compare this mini vehicle with other (KEI cars) Japanese mini vehicles then the price can be bearable. A regular gasoline engine 660CC vehicle runs for about JPY9(USD$0.086) per Kilometer whereas iMEV will run for JPY1 (USD$0.009) per kilometer.

Let us join hands to protect our GREEN PLANET by vowing to emit no CO2 for traveling; a single step is the start to make this world greener and happier.

Limited Budget offers

But if you are low on budget for the new car then there are other good reasons to buy a used car. Your smart choice for the right dealer will reflect your final bye-product. Let say that you have come across leading exporters like Nexuss International Company of Japan, which are providing excellent advice and second to none service packages just fit for your needs. Moreover, you have to know that:-

* Used cars are more reliable today than ever before.

* Some used cars are still under the approved dealers warranty.

* Most approved dealers now sell certified used cars, which include warranties.

* The history of a used car can easily be traced using the VIN number.

* Online buying and selling of used cars have increasingly gained numbers in recent years.

* Most Japanese cars are one owner and therefore reliability is more.

* Japanese online commission agents are providing less stressful deals by offering Inspected vehicles by qualified inspectors.

* Japanese auctions are non-biased selling/buying places with limited members.
