I think the the car will smell really bad, with all the fermentation of cheese and alcohol going on. Apart from that, why waste food on fuel when you already have so many people starving for days without anything to eat and drink?

That's funny; I wrote a blog referencing that car (among others) right when this thread started: http://spirofloblog....lly-equal-good/

It seems like you can run a car off just about anything (the algae car was the fuel trend of the week not too far back), but if any fuel becomes mainstream enough, its value will change.

More and more car drivers have changed their priorities and now want all to save fuel. Start-stop systems have therefore become standard features in modern automobiles. When the vehicle comes to a standstill, the engine is automatically shut down and started up again when the driver depresses the clutch before moving off. It’s an approach that certainly saves fuel, but the technology does its drawbacks. As the starter motor draws off considerable current from the system, the on-board voltage level can fall from its normal level of 12 volts to as low as 6 volts. Which means the radio and ventilation will switch off, and the lights will dim.

Well this puts a creative spin on driving drunk -- my car needs a 'breathalyzer' before any repercussions of endangerment take place. Its a novel idea.

That surely cracks me up too! Good as it may sound that there is a constant pursuit of alternative fuels, we could possobly do with much more novel stuff than wine & cheese!

I'm just curious, new technologies offer great resolutions to the ever congested environmental pollution. We should now be using it in our own home by now. But, it costs us so much. I'm just wondering if the problem is eminent and we are on the blink of destruction, why do these people won't bring down the price of their inventions. Is the oil producers have something to do with it?
