Right now, gas prices in San Francisco can be as high as $4.49 per gallon. Sometimes driving an Audi around in such a highly priced market can be draining to the wallet. It should be no surprise that there are so many places for car title loans in San Francisco to get extra money before payday. While our public transportation system might be stellar and the rest of the city is far ahead of the times in terms of progressiveness, we still rely on fossil fuels to get us from point A to point B.

In order to help decrease our reliance upon fossil fuels, Audi has introduced two new electric vehicles into the foray at recent European auto shows; the Audi A2 and an experimental urban friendly vehicle.

According to CNET UK, the new Audi A2 electric is fortified with the latest in gadgetry in order to live up to its futuristic image. It's basic design will be the same as the A1 vehicle, but will feature things that would make the A1 look like it belongs on The Flintstones. There will be a semi-autonomous driving feature which will match other car's movements during slow moving traffic. On board Wi-Fi capabilities will allow users to openly access the Internet while driving along.

The car's lighting system will also feature mind-blowing technology such as fog lights that beam symbols on the road that warn other drivers not to hit you.

The new concept car unveiled by Audi at the auto show in Frankfurt, Germany is reminiscent of the Plymouth Prowler. Instead of embracing the gas guzzling, hot-rod philosophy of the 1950's; the new Audi concept hopes to embrace a minimalistic urban lifestyle. The car has a wireless charging capability that utilizes Audi's AWC for contactless wireless charging. The battery takes about 20 to 60 minutes to fully charge and can last for up to 45 miles.
