The following table exposes, in base of the information and considerations previously described in this section, a graded evaluation of the aptitudes and drawbacks of each fuel and technology in the items of the performance, environmental preservation and economic feasibility, numbered from 1 (worst) to 5 (best).

Each item is divided in three or four sub-items: the ones of the performance are the efficiency of the vehicle, its autonomy and its refuelling easiness; the sub-items of the environmental affectation are the greenhouse gases balance, the toxic releases from the engine operation and the terrain affectation due to the production of this fuel or technology; finally, the ones related to the economy are the monetary cost to the consumer and the obligatory expenditure in infrastructures related to their deployment, along with a gradation of their technologic development and current offer to the consumer.
