#10 — GTL (Gas to Liquid)
This is a diesel that is made out of natural gas.

#9 — LPG
LPG is a byproduct produced in the oil and gas industries, otherwise known as propane and butane.

#8 — Compressed Natural Gas
CNG is a fossil fuel that is fairly gaseous and is made up of mostly methane. It can run engines by itself or in combination with other fuels.

#7 — Modern Petrol
Normal gas, just better!

#6 — Hydrogen Engine
This changes the combustion engine and lets it run on hydrogen.

#5 — Fuel Cells
A cell that takes the energy from a chemical reaction and converts it into electrical energy.

#4 — Biofuels
Fuels made of renewable products like crops, plants and plant waste.

#3 — Electric Cars
An engine that needs to be plugged in. Like your television.

#2 — Modern Diesel
Normal diesel, but better!

#1 — Hybrids
Motors that are part electric and part traditional.
