Chevy Volt Electric Car
2Chevy Volt is designed to move more than 75 percent of America’s daily commuters without a single drop of gas. That means for someone who drives less than 40 miles a day, Chevy Volt will use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions.
Unlike traditional electric cars, Chevy Volt has a revolutionary propulsion system that takes you beyond the power of the battery. It will use a lithium-ion battery with a variety of range-extending onboard power sources, including gas and, in some vehicles, E85 ethanol to recharge the battery while you drive beyond the 40-mile battery range. And when it comes to being plugged in, Chevy Volt will be designed to use a common household plug.
Now that’s a cool idea — electric, gas and ethanol powered car all in one hood.
The Chevy Volt will be released in 2010.
Nissan Skyline and the Nissan Murano
0Though the price of fuel continues to soar, the incisive automotive market still aspires for vehicles that thrill the senses. With this in mind manufacturers wittingly continue to research and develop fuel efficient vehicles that do not compromise the power and gusto of the automobile. March 2007, Nissan engineers set out to prove the ability of the Nissan Skyline’s V6 engine to combine fuel efficiency with high-performance driving by traveling 1000 kilometers on one tank of fuel.
The eco-driving challenge was conducted by a team of product development experts on the roads from Tochigi to Kanagawa. This feat was to be accomplished on real roads with unpredictable traffic and weather conditions and with different drivers. The 2.5L Skyline model driven was powered by the VQ25HR V6 engine, capable of generating 225 horsepower 26.8kgm of torque. The team was composed of eight test-drivers under the Nissan Performance Innovation Task Team (PITT). Experiencing a variety of road conditions including traffic jams and construction works, the Skyline managed to travel a distance of 1,024 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of 16.3km-per-liter, delivering a unique fusion of high-performance, styling and comfort in an advanced sports sedan.
The main objective of the eco-driving challenge was to promote greater awareness of Nissan’s advanced fuel-economy technology as well as demonstrate the efficiency of the new VQ engine under real-world driving conditions. This VQ engine heritage is shared by the Nissan Teana and Nissan Murano distributed locally by Nissan Motors Philippines, Inc.
The Nissan Murano recently garnered an award at the 2006 Car of the Year Awards. Heralded as the “Best In Over-All Design”, the Murano bested numerous entries and came out as the vehicle that “blends both beauty and ergonomics in one seamless and well-though of package.” With its award winning VQ engine that combines fuel efficiency and high performance driving, the Nissan Murano is one crossover gem that’s a thrill to drive and a sight to behold.
SeaOil’s Price Lock Prepaid Fuel Card
0With the rising prices of fuel, it won’t be a surprise if the gas price will hit the Php60.00 mark by next month. It could even be earlier. Almost every week, all the major oil companies are adding at least php1.00 per liter.
Inside sources tell us that Sea Oil will be challenging this rising gas prices by introducing a flat rate scheme via a prepaid card. Price tag will be Php53.50 per liter with each card tanking 20 liters.
Price Lock Prepaid Fuel Card can be used to buy 20 liters of gasoline (G5 X-treme and Unleaded) from any SEAOIL participating stations. The selling period is from June 10-16, 2008. Each card costs P1,070 and is valid for 10 weeks (June 10 up to August 16, 2008).
These prepaid cards can only be bought in a 1 week window — from June 10 to 16, 2008. The cards can be bought from Sea Oil stations or special booths — Metrowalk and Tiendesitas in Pasig City, Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan and Shopwise in Cubao, Quezon City.
This assures car owners that whether gas prices will go up, they will still get the flat rate of Php53.50. Sea Oil will also be honoring a money-back guarantee if ever the gas prices go down (which is close to impossible).

0Honda Japan launched the FCX Clarity which is purely hydrogen-fueled car. They will be shipping thsi to California next month and will cost $600 per month for 3 years.
The Honda FCX Clarity runs up to 77 miles per gallon on city streets and 67 miles on the highway. A single full tank of hydrogen fuel will last 280 miles.

0The first round of the Autobachs Super GT 2007 Series kicks off at the Suzuka Circuit (5.807km/lap) in Mie prefecture last Sunday, March 18.

The MOTUL AUTECH Z (#22) with Michael Krumm and Tsugio Matsuda started from 9th and finished 5th, scoring valuable points. It was a very successful debut race for the new GT500-spec Nissan Z car running the normally aspirated (NA) V8 engine.
Nissan’s factory Fairlady Zs (350Z) is now powered by a stronger 4.5 L V8 engine aiming at victory in this years SUPER GT championship in Japan. Complimented by changes to the chassis and other key components, the competitiveness of the machines that won championships twice in the past three years has now been significantly improved.
Mr. Kunihiko Kakimoto will lead as General Manager of all the Nissan teams, while Mr. Yoshitaka Iijima continues as Team Manager of NISMO.NISMO will technically support and develop cars for teams entering SUPER GT with the Fairlady Z. A total of five Fairlady Zs from HASEMI MOTOR SPORT, TEAM IMPUL and KONDO RACING as well as NISMO will enter the GT 500 class.
