What’s the biggest challenge for anyone using alternative fuels? Obviously, where to fill it up! Here’s a new service to help drivers who are going green, go the distance.
Earthcomber, a wireless mobile information network, is launching today a free scanning service so travelers can spot alternative fuel at nearly 4,000 locations across the US.
This means that anyone using a mobile phone, PDA, Blackberry, or iPhone can quickly determine at any point on their journey where the closest location is to get refueled.
The list includes the following:
* BioDiesel
* E85 (Ethanol)
* LPG (liquified petroleum gas)
* CNG (compressed natural gas)
* Hydrogen
* Electric (hookups to recharge electric cars and hybrids)
Earthcomber works with regular computers, BlackBerrys, web-enabled cell phones, iPhones, Palm and Windows Mobile devices.The alternative fuels are listed under the “Transport” menu.
