They are also much bigger and therefore require much more space to run. They don 't usually have high top end speeds (compared to nitro and some electrics) but have lots of power and don 't take a lot of fuel to run. Over time the cost of a gas-powered car can be less than some nitro-powered vehicles, because of the high cost of nitro fuel and buying new nitro engines to replace worn-out ones.

So, with carbon dioxide levels rising and the hope of humans coexisting with a disappearing Earth, a permanently scarred world is on its way. However, there is still some hope. One of the best options to reduce carbon emissions is to buy and drive an Electric Vehicle.

This statistics alone show that we are overusing our motorised vehicles. So is there a way to avoid such high carbon dioxide emissions? Is there any alternative for our petrol-powered assistants? Yes, there is! Our possible salvation are so-called “ Green” cars.
