AAA Minnesota/Iowa Launches Web-Based Consumer Resource on Alternative Fuels

BURNSVILLE, Minn.--Imagine a time when you no longer go to the gas station to fuel up your car. Instead, you plug your car into an electrical outlet, or just fill up the tank with french fry oil. You may not have noticed, but that future is now.

To help build awareness of all the new alternative fuels and vehicles available, AAA Minnesota/Iowa is launching the Greenlight InitiativeTM. The new program will help motorists make sense of all the new options available and encourage the development of transportation choices.

The rise of gas prices over the last few years has sparked the interest of people curious about different transportation options, according to AAA. While hybrid cars and other alternatively-fueled vehicles may not be for everyone, the Auto Club believes it's time to start building awareness for what is clearly the next chapter in the history of the automobile.

More information about Greenlight and hybrids and alternative fuels -- including a downloadable brochure is available online at AAA.com/Greenlight.

Information available online includes:

  • Alternative Fuels FAQS
  • Flex Fuel/Bi-Fuel FAQS
  • Hybrid Vehicle FAQS
  • Hydrogen Cell FAQS
  • Buying a Green Car

According to AAA, this is a time of tremendous experimentation in the auto industry. Greenlight isnt about recommending one option over the other. Its about getting people excited over reducing our reliance on gasoline-powered engines.
