The United States Department of Energy's redesigned web sites for the Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC) and the Clean Cities Program has handy new tools that provide even more information on strategies for reducing petroleum use.

These web sites provide a one-stop resource for information about alternative fuels and vehicles, hybrid vehicles, idle reduction, and other strategies. They include on-line tools to:

• Find fueling stations for ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, propane, and other alternative fuels anywhere in the United States. Visit www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/fuels/stations_locator.html.

• Identify incentives and laws for alternative fuels and vehicles in any state. Visit www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/incentives_laws.html.

• Find and compare alternative fuels and hybrid vehicles.

• Obtain information from fleets that have used alternative fuels. Visit www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/fleets/fleet_experiences.html.
