Alternative fuels and cars are gaining popularity in the face of rising fuel prices, said the British Car Auctions (BCA) organisation this week.

According to the group, demand for this type of transport appears to be growing and hybrid vehicles are continuing to rise above market expectations.

So, any women drivers out there who are thinking about lowering their carbon footprint and buying a greener car might find now is the time to do so.

"The hybrid electric/petrol models are definitely the flavour of the moment, because there are no issues over fuel availability," said BCA spokesperson Tim Naylor.

"Motorists have already seen a variety of alternative fuels heralded as the answer to global warming."

Of course, there are lots of drivers who have already cottoned on to the appeal of hybrids.

Celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio are reported to enjoy the benefits of a hybrid, while Larry David on classic sitcom Curb your Enthusiasm also drove a Toyota Prius.
