I hoped that the new V6 engine would sound louder than the old Audi engine. Unfortunatlely it's quiter. The sound is like a strong wind flush. THANKS FOR WATCHING!!! Video Rating: 4 / 5

Here it is folks. My brand new car. The 2011 Hyundai Elantra. It's a sweet ride and so far I'm enjoying it very much. In the video I forgot to mention that it gets 40 miles per gallon highway miles and 26 miles per gallon city miles. HUGE improvement from my previous car. Also I got the ten year warranty. Very very good.
At the 2011 International Motor Show in Geneva the concept vehicle BMW Vision ConnectedDrive will make its world debut from 3rd to 13th of March 2011. The BMW Vision ConnectedDrive concept study extrapolates the principle of intelligent networking of driver, vehicle and the outside world into the future. The vehicle is transformed perfectly naturally into a fully integrated part of the networked world and sets new standards in future comfort, infotainment and safety features. Video Rating: 5 / 5
Der Opel-Stromer . Ende November 2011 kommt mit dem Opel Ampera Deutschlands erster Plug-in-Hybrid mit Range Extender-Technologie auf den Markt. Auf den ersten 70 Kilometern fährt der Plug-in-Hybrid Ampera nur mit Strom aus dem Akku. Mit der Idee des Reichweitenverlängerers ist Opel endlich mal wieder ganz vorn. Doch auch hier hat das Sparen Grenzen. Quelle : www.autobild.de Video - Produktvideo - Werbefilm - Film - Trailer - Spot - Test - Bericht . Oeni - http
drivencarreviews.com Unless you've been isolated in a yurt distilling organic fuel for your bio-diesel hybrid, it's been tough to miss the hype of the Chevrolet Volt. The extended range electric vehicle is now available in select markets. Tom Voelk takes a look to see if it's worth getting amped up over.

The prices of gasonline or petrol increase daily, wherever you live in the world. The price of a barrel of oil has quadrupled since the beginning of the millennium. It went from about a barrel to almost in these days.
The Reason to Save Fuel
The resources of fossil energy deplete. Oil has served as the backbone of the modern society. Gas and coal also have plaid an important role, but oil has prevailed. The book "The Final Energy Crisis" forecasts a dramatic development during the next years. They expect that the peak of the oil production will be achieved around the end of this decade and that the production will fall, although the demand will increase further. This means higher energy prices. Another source says that the oil reserves will be exhausted in about 43 years and the reserves of natural gas in about 64 years.
No Easy Going Alternatives at Hand
There is a lot of research going on worldwide in the field of solar power and hydrogen power. They will have to substitute oil, gas, coal and uranium in an intermediate term. Photovoltaic, wind power and power from biomass progress quickly. The process of transformation lasts decades. New solutions need time to step fully into the foot prints of oil.
The Urgent Task to Save Fuel
There is an urgent task to save fuel in order to prolong the use of the remaining fossil energies. Saving fuel is inevitable because the cost for fuel will increase further. There might be days of lower prices, but the general tendency is clear: up, up and up again.
Solutions are demanded in order to make the consumption of fuel affordable. Modern and already proven standards of housing construction show that 60% to 80% of the fuel can be saved.
Solutions for Money Saving Consumption Needed
Saving fuel in the field of traffic and transportation still sticks in the beginning. If the wheels have to turn further, fuel saving becomes highest priority. There are cars coming up with low fuel consumption or even bio-ethanol. Millions of used vehicles still are useful and they are driven for many more years. It makes sense, if there is a solution for used and new cars, trucks, motor-bikes etc. To save fuel also means to save money. Fuel Freedom International propagates such a convenient looking solution. This could be one solution among others, e.g. eco-efficient driving. Everything that helps saving fuel should be tested.
