5 Great Reasons You Should Travel With An Alternative Fuel Vehicle This Summer
Summer is travel season and you maybe wondering why people are choosing green alternative fuel? While everyone is generally excited by the prospective trips and vacations, many people worry about the costs associated with transportation. Additionally, carbon emissions, like those resulting from vehicle exhausts, are placing a burden on the environment. Alternative fuel vehicles are one solution being offered to address these concerns. They are easier on the environment than traditional fuels.
Cleaner Emissions
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, alternative fuels like propane, natural gas, and electricity all have far fewer emissions than gasoline and diesel. Not only is this better for the environment, but it is better for public health too. Check out our zero emissions school bus if you want to see what impact your emissions could have.
Energy Independence
Alternative energy vehicles can help the nation to become more energy independent. The idea behind this concept is spreading our energy needs among more than one fuel source, thus making us less dependent on other countries to help us meet our energy demands. This also means that prices are independent for gas fluctuations and other market trends.

Celebrate Earth Day with The Benefits of Alternative Fuel Fleets
Earth Day is a holiday we have set aside specifically to consider the Earth, the environment and our relationship to it, and other global-level sustainability issues. At a corporate level, one of the best uses of Earth Day might be to consider investment in alternative fuel fleets.
Whether you're interested in upgrading existing vehicles to use alt-fuel engines or considering purchasng new natural gas or propane-based vehicles, you could be doing a lot to help the planet with the investment.
Plus - you'd also enjoy lower fuel prices, easier maintenance, better mileage, and all the other benefits of alternative fuels!
Three Ways Alternative Fuel Fleets Are Better for The Planet
- Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Burning fossil fuels are responsible for roughly 3/4 of the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, contributing to global climate change and numerous resulting ecological problems. While it's true that natural gas and propane are derived from fossil fuels, both are vastly cleaner-burning than gasoline as well as releasing far fewer vaporous emissions during fuel-up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compressed Natural Gas and CNG Vehicles Answered
It’s no surprise that many organizations approach the possibility of converting a fleet to utilize compressed natural gas (CNG) with some trepidation. Doing so can be a major expenditure for a large fleet - although not nearly as expensive as buying new vehicles - and many new customers are unfamiliar with the technology.
Since we often hear many of the same questions at Green Alternative Systems, we wanted to address some of the most common inquiries we get regarding CNG vehicles and conversions.

Why We Love Green Alternative Gas & You Should Too!
Alternative fuel conversions aren't just our business, they're also our passion at Green Alternative Systems.
Without exaggerating, it's safe to say that one of the most pressing problems facing the world today is how to keep our ever-expanding transportation lines running smoothly, without relying on rapidly-depleting fuels that harm the environment.
From public transportation to food shipments, to intercontinental flights, there are more vehicles traveling the globe than ever before.
There is also no doubt that we need those vehicles to sustain our current global society and economy. They allow farmers to feed the world, allow everyone to benefit from time-saving electronics, and allow people everywhere to travel and trade ideas like never before. To lose those transportation systems would mean regressing backward by centuries. But we can't ruin the planet in the process.

17 Things to Take Away For 2017 With Green Alternative Systems
Green Alternative Systems lists the top 17 things to take away for 2017 regarding natural gas and alternative fuel options.
-
Natural gas is big in heavy fleets. Major operations such as UPS are on track to move 100% of their heavy fleet to natural gas.
-
Prices are stabilizing. Natural gas is becoming steadily more affordable in the US, in more areas of the country, with less month-to-month price fluctuation.
-
Serious fuel savings. While prices may still vary, on average, compressed natural gas (CNG) currently costs $1.50-$2 less per equivalent gallon than traditional gasoline when factoring in increased per-gallon mileage.
-
Less gasoline reliance is becoming a reality. Natural gas is already saving over 500 million gallons of gasoline per year.

Why are green alternative gases so cheap?
Green alternative gases are becoming more and more predominant across the country. Businesses in particular are looking toward using alternative gas because they are cheaper, more environmentally conscious, and provide access to attractive incentives provided by both State and Federal governments--including considerable tax reductions and exemptions.
For businesses that find themselves in such a situation, a better alternative may be converting their current fleets to using natural gas systems. The upfront costs of conversion may seem daunting, but most companies that convert to alternative fuel see the investment paid back quickly.

Propane and Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Buses Outperform Traditional Fuels
With budget cuts and unstable fuel prices, many school districts and transportation businesses are looking for alternative fuel vehicles and buses for sale in the hopes of reducing overall costs.
The benefits of converting to greener options easily offset the initial investment, especially during the colder winter months.
Increased Fuel Savings
Gas and diesel prices tend to fluctuate drastically and depend on a number of uncontrollable factors, like crude oil prices and supply levels. However, alternative fuels such as propane, tend to have fairly stable prices that are often below standard fuel prices. In fact, many propane providers offer programs that allow you to lock in the price of fuel over a set amount of time. This allows you to budget for fuel more efficiently and enjoy thousands of dollars worth in fuel savings alone
