Richard Branson promotes alternative fuel movement by driving a Saab 9-5 BioPower
Sir Richard Branson has taken delivery of a Saab 9-5 BioPower car. Known for his commitment to fight global warming, Branson says the use of biofuels should be expanded to many industries. Branson's Virgin transportation companies, including Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Trains, are going to reinvest profits into renewable energy, and Virgin Fuels is expected to be a beneficiary. The company was already into bioethanol production and researching other alternative fuels. As for his car, Branson wants the 9-5 to be given an exemption from London's Congestion Charge, which is a fee placed on vehicles entering busy streets.

Alternative are currently available in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
With 22,000,000 miles of data, a simple liquid available in Europe and Asia and a pill in the USA is in use by over 3 million drivers.
Good in all fuels, gas, diesel, bio-diesel, ehtanol, etc.
BEST PART LOWERS EMISSIONS TO ALMOST ZERO...
THAT'S RIGHT ZERO
and increases miles per gallon by 7-14%

I hope this biofuel thing will reach the third world countries too. Global warming means global. However we don't have much resources like that to run in our streets but the pollutant causing cars which always gives us an asthma attack.
