Leaded, unleaded or Merlot? The vehicle powered by wine

Cars that run on only one type of fuel?  That is so pre. How about a car that runs on wine? Or cheese? Or both?

On display at 5° annual Bridgestone sponsored Eco-Rally which runs from Oxford, England, in London, wine and cheese powered vehicle was just one of many cars with low fuel sources and zero emissions.

Not only Lotus Exige 270E Tri-Fuel can run on a wine ethanol (not safe for human consumption) and whey — a by-product of cheese — but the car is one of the fastest in the world, going from zero to 60 mph in less than four seconds. The Exige can also be run on fuel oil and methanol (made by condensation of CO2 from the air) in addition to its preferred diet of wine and cheese.

Growing in popularity alongside hybrid electric-powered vehicles and 100 percent is the practice of using food that has been converted to biofuels, including running vehicles on exhausted French FRY/deep fryer grease with a conversion process easily installed on most modern vehicles so that you can still run on diesel fuel as necessary. Collection of biofuel can be a simple and convenient way to feed cars converted from a gleaning donations or purchase it for considerably less money per gallon of oil from restaurants (o) the growing number of biofuel pop stations throughout the country.

An agricultural cooperative in rural southwestern France has produced more than 4,000 liters of biodiesel last year with a combination of duck, veal and pork fat. Biofuels not only is used to power farm equipment and vehicles, but also manages to feed a factory nearby.

Unlike oil, biofuels are biodegradable, renewable, less easily nociva and less toxic. They can be produced from vegetable matter common and waste of animal origin and do not contribute carbon dioxide emissions harmful to the environment.
