How do you “fill-up” your alternative fueled vehicle when you’re away from home? Now, if you’re driving
cross-country or to a nearby region, you can use the online U.S. DOE Refueling Station Locator. It helps
drivers find stations that offer ethanol and methanol blends, electricity, propane and natural gas. Drivers can
search by a specific address, city, state or region. Users can “zoom in or out” to view surrounding areas and
streets and print the maps as needed.
The Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Resource Center has produced a handy report that answers the most
common questions for fleet managers and others interested in alternative fuels. Using brief cases of Northwest
companies and agencies that use such vehicles, it describes the performance, cost, and other factors associated
with their use. The fuels covered are: compressed and liquefied natural gas, propane, methanol, ethanol,
electricity, fuel cells, hydrogen, and biodiesel.
