With UL-approved ethanol pumps, 2008 could be big E85 year

Sure, corn farmers and ethanol producers are very keen to see that you always have E85 available to you when you go to fill up your car. 2008 just might be the year when we do stop noticing E85 pumps because they will be everywhere.

Clarkson climbing to new heights, literally

While the new season of Top Gear is in full swing, Clarkson and crew are getting ready for their appearance at MPH '07, a European petrolhead extravaganza of the highest order. In addition to having over £27,654,000 worth of exotic metal on hand, including every 200+ MPH supercar ever built, Jezza will be racing a rock climber up a 40-foot tall, man-made mountain in a Land Rover Discovery.

Paris, San Francisco and now Montreal - bike sharing the world over

We know that car sharing is becoming more and more popular around the world, but who knew so many cities were trying to be the next first thing when it comes to bike sharing? Is there some sort of bicycle primary coming up, and the earlier these cities get on board, the better off they think they'll be?
