All of us are feeling the crunch of having to stand at the fuel pump and watch the numbers slip by so fast that you can’t even see them any longer.  It may seem that we are stuck with this particular form of energy but believe it or not, there are some alternative fuel options that you may want to consider.  Some of these may be available for you and others may be a little bit out of your reach.  Regardless, if you take a look around you for these alternative fuel options, you might be surprised with what you find.

Most of the major gas stations are now using a little bit of ethanol in with the fuel.  This does help to cut down on the price of gas to a certain extent but it may not make as much of an impact as you think that it would.  There has been some talk in the past about switching to an all ethanol fuel but this would not necessarily solve the problem as then we would only be dependent on another fuel source.

A more interesting idea, as far as alternative fuel options is concerned is to run your car on water.  There has been a lot of talk about this recently but believe it or not, the technology to be able to do this has been around for almost a century.  If you have a weekend and about $70, you can make some changes to your car that would allow you to run it on a 50% water/gas mixture.  This can save you a considerable monthly on your fuel bill.
