Northern Colorado Clean Cities : Resources

THE TIME IS NOW

For nearly half a century, transportation has accounted for about one-fourth of total U.S. energy use and two-thirds of total oil consumption.

The Time to is NOW! Natural gas vehicles, hybrids, electric, plug in electric, flex fuels and other choices are out there, sometimes for no cost difference to you. The fuels are available too. Ethanol, as E85, and Biodiesel in blends of 10% to 20%, are now at stations all over Colorado.
