First, may state and local grants and incentives are available to help buy down the incremental cost of AFVs. Some state and local money is also available to support purchase and installation of an on-site refueling appliance, such as a FuelMaker. You can also get incentive information from your local Clean Cities Coordinator. Second, AFVs can offer the economic advantage of lower operating ocsts compared to gasoline vehicles. Much of this advantage comes in fuel cost savings, longer engine life and lower maintenance costs.
Propane offers similar savings.
These fuel cost savings can really add up when calculating the lifecycle cost of a vehicle. GMAC lease financing is available for E85 vehicles. GMAC currently does not lease CNG or LPG vehicles, but is looking into this option. I d like to use alternative fuels, but AFVs don t provide adequate driving ranges to meet my fleet s needs. Actually, with a bi-fuel GM AFV, you get a higher driving range that you do with a conventional vehicle.
