With gas prices soaring, drivers are starting to rethink how they commute in a bid to save money. For most people, more fuel efficient vehicles, including hybrid-electrics, are now squarely on the radar for a next vehicle purchase. But what if you simply can't afford to shell out another $20,000 to $35,000 for another car? Or what if switching to public transit or a bicycle isn’t an option? What if there were cheaper, fuel efficient environmentally-friendlier or zero-emission alternatives? Well, there already are. And we're seeing more and more of them on our streets.
