Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 7/10 --
A good natured cheer-leading session for clean vehicles, "Fuel" is several measures short of the intensity it will take to put Hummers where they belong---in museums.

Monsters and Critics
“It is stylistically breezy but deeply sincere, as Tickell offers a thoughtful, well-researched argument for alternative energy.”
Washington Post
There's not a single (even moderately) dissenting voice in Fuel; you're either on the biodiesel bandwagon or raping the planet.

Village Voice
Rating: 3/4 --
One of the refreshing traits of this action-nudging documentary is Tickell's willingness to wrestle his own biases.
Denver Post
Rating: 4/5 --
Smartly animated interstitials, memorable archival material and a lively soundtrack round out the fast-paced proceedings.

Los Angeles Times
Thanks to an informative, buoyant tone and director's own restless intelligence, the film preaches to the unconverted with passion, energy and graphics so clear that they would make Al Gore weep over his PowerPoint.
New York Times
Rating: 7.5/10 --
For a film about energy, it's marvelous that Tickell ultimately gives us all the proverbial power.
