Coolfuel Roadtrip (2005– )
9/10
Timely look at alternate fuel options while crossing America.
14 May 2006
I'd heard about this show via the net, and decided to order the series, as I'm interested in purchasing a different type of car for my next ride. Natural Gas, Bio Diesel, or a high-MPG hybrid? Australian Shaun Murphy crosses the USA, using anything but gasoline or diesel fuel. He burns trash, drives battery-electric vehicles, etc., all in a lighthearted way, accompanied by his dog Sparky. It's very well produced, moves along quickly, and, for some reason, I noticed that it's got a neat soundtrack(normally, I don't notice such things). Overall, a 9.

The show focuses on the trip, and sometimes I wish it were just a little more technical- showing more details on the alternate-fuel rides, but that's a very very small complaint on a show that easily keeps your attention, and showcases options you may not have thought of before while driving your gas engined car.

This is available through their website, but is not yet on Netflix. Enjoy! I'm hoping the show makes you realize that, regardless of what Big Oil and the current administration wants you to believe, there ARE options, and they're here now. And, they may fit your lifestyle without any major adaptations at all.
