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.

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.

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
