Denver Limousine Service Does our Part for Denver's Environment

This past summer’s oil-price shock has awakened our desire to find a more cost-effective way to power vehicles. And, as we had already slated our Denver limousine operations for the alternative energy conversion, in November 2008, Ground Sky Limousines converted our entire Denver Limousine fleet to clean burning compressed natural gas or CNG. Yes, good old natural gas – the same stuff that heats your home also works in cars!

Ground Sky has learned that over 95 percent of the natural gas used in the United States comes from domestic or other North American sources, so prices aren’t subject to the enormous price hikes caused by political instability. Natural gas is an abundant resource. In rough terms, there are estimated to be about forty years known of crude oil reserves worldwide versus eighty years of natural gas reserves.

Moreover, switching our Denver limousines to natural gas helps the environment. Compared to burning gasoline or diesel, using natural gas will exponentially reduce the amount of emissions our Denver limousine fleet produces in a days work, including; nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Buying green is a great step toward reducing the environmental impacts of automobile use. In March of 2009, Ground Sky Limousines will continue our pursuit of energy efficiency with the introduction of the 2009 Mercedes R320 BlueTec vehicle to our Denver limousine fleet. With over 20 to 30 percent better fuel economy than gasoline powered vehicles, our Denver limousine fleet will gain vastly improved driving distances with over 23 mpg while benefitting from the world’s cleanest diesel engine!
