Green Friendly Motoring: Gas Up Your Car With Bio-fuels!
The alarming effects of pollution in the environment added with the fast depletion and rising costs of fossil fuels has prompted scientific communities and governments to create measures to alleviate these problems the world over.
One of the solutions that sprang up from laboratories are bio fuels plant extracts and compounds which when added to gasoline and petrol will substitute fuel characteristics.
Bio fuels certainly aids the environment as they are biological in nature and therefore do not add carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Coming from carbon dioxide digesters in nature they typically remove carbon dioxide and in turn give off the same amount when burnt.
Though still in the introduction stage in the market bio fuels has proven to be promising with surprising results they do not only cost much less to make than gasoline or petrol additives but elaborate tests has proven that they can also improve vehicle performance and clean emissions! Further tests conducted have also proven that biofuels eliminate smog and engine buildup.
A lot of oil companies are slowly picking up the pace in marketing these types of fuel and a lot are reporting sales steadily on the rise due to the affordability and added benefits. There are also new oil market players that cater exclusively to the production and distributing biofuels and byproducts now gaining influence off the growing demand for cheaper and cleaner fuel alternatives.
Biofuel variants largely used in vehicles today include:
1. Bio Diesel
For diesel engines. This type of fuel can be used with existing cars with little or no adaptation needed and scores well on the energy ratings. Cars on Bio Ethanol basically land the same rankings as those running on gasoline. The difference however shows up on the combustion process as BioEthanol only emits the carbon dioxide it has used up in the growth process of its plant source while burning gasoline or diesel adds more CO2 into the atmosphere due to their underground containment in oil deposits for eons of years.
Large sources of plant extracts usually come from the following:
* Ethanol alcohol from Sugarcane
* Oil extracts from mature Jathropa seeds
* Coconut oil
2. Biogas
Another interesting alternative to fossil fuels Biogas is the type of gas from animal or plant wastes or a combination of both. A mixture of both has been proven to yield the best results. The animal wastes produce the nitrogen for bacterial growth and vegetable matter supplies the needed carbon.
With the positive market feedback researchers are still looking and testing other viable plant sources for an even improved fuel additive which will eventually should the need arise power vehicles in the future.
As a motorist this is truly a great news now youll get relief over fuel costs and maintenance bills but the most rewarding above all is that in using biofuels youre contributing to the welfare of your environment.
Drive safely.

Gonow Auto South Africa Reliable Value
GoNow Auto SA is managed by Adri Roe who was responsible for bringing Daewoo to South Africa managing a profiting business when it was taken over by General Motors. Ms Roe has been involved in the South African automotive industry for the past 12 years after running one of the most successful Hyundai dealerships of the then Hyundai Motor Distributors South Africa for 5 years.
She was Marketing Director for Daewoo Motor South Africa for 5 years responsible for option selection and purchasing of new car stock from South Korea as well as the setup of a national dealer network now operating under the GM banner.
After the GM takeover of Daewoo and subsequently the Delta Motor Group in South Africa Ms Roe was general manager for Chevrolet South Africa: Marketing and Sales responsible for the local launch of Chevrolet SA as well as the setup of a countrywide dealer network.
With GoNow we looked at manufacturers in China with the potential of growing internationally not just in the Chinese market she explained.
Unbelievably China has over 400 manufacturers and assemblers of automotive products. We looked at cars bakkies buses and light commercials from dozens of them eventually focusing on a handful of manufacturers with better quality vehicles more suitable for our market.
LCV manufacturer GoNow Auto was originally selected by Chris Asmal in 2003 but a major problem at the time was that its vehicles were only available in lefthand drive. He not only had to convince the Chinese that there was a market for their product in other parts of the world but also righthand drive countries said Roe.
RHD development started shortly after with 6 LHD vehicles shipped to South Africa in November 2005 for testing in local conditions as well as the SABS homologation process.
The official distribution agreement with GoNow Auto was signed on 14 December 2005 for South Africa Angola Botswana Zambia Namibia Malawi DRC Mozambique Zimbabwe Lesotho and Mauritius.
As a distributor our focus is on quality product that is technically sound and safe. After receiving the first righthand drive models we have made dozens of improvements to the vehicles including more than 40 changes to the finish and trim excluding equipment changes said Ms Roe.
