Managed by Autogas for America, the blog claims to

“…promote truth and accountability in the alternative fuels industry. We believe America’s push for energy security will require a range of different technologies, fuels and strategies – but we understand the importance of clear, accurate information.”

Additionally, the autogas advocacy organization has published their first “Alternative Fuel Fact Brief”. An article from the group states that these papers are “designed to educate readers and alternative energy followers about key aspects of the most popular alternative transportation fuels today. Compressed natural gas (CNG), ethanol, plug-in electric vehicles, biodiesel, propane autogas, and others are scheduled to be part of the ongoing series.”

The first one is titled “American, abundant… and affordable?“, and provides an analysis of CNG as applied to light-duty fleets. The study concludes that while the fuel may be a good choice for heavy -duty applications like 18 wheelers, autogas is the better fit due to lower conversion costs and significantly lower infrastructure costs, as the graph from the paper illustrates.

“Winning Fleet Truck of the Year is really exciting for the entire Ford team. The F-150 has been an important tool for truck fleets for a long time and worthy of this recognition. More importantly, the 2011 model gets even better with an all-new powertrain lineup offering best-in-class horsepower, torque, and fuel economy. Combined with industry leading quality, safety and technology, the value proposition for F-150 has never been stronger,” said John Ruppert, general manager, commercial and government operations for Ford Motor Company.
