normally stripes like that look like ass, but that car looked really hot.

I don't have any speakers at work, so i coudn't hear what he was saying, but boy was he grinning ear to ear the entire drive.

Awesome! I want one too.

Interesting that sweden has no tax on bio-ethanol and consequently the price is half that of gas, but the UK has done little to encourage it so far

70% "net reduction" in emissions based on taking credit for the co2 absorption of the crops as they're growing is the claim (with 0-60 in 3.88 secs also claimed for this car)

Could this be viable if the oil companies don't block it? Would the whole of England's lands need to be farming it to meet demand?

I haven't followed the Ethanol vs Hydrogen debates very closely...

maybe i am :mdrmed: i just am trying to not be a thread fallure like nalin

What most people don't realize is that the ground cannot sustain demand naturally. They must use fertilizer, which uses up about 30% of the energy used to make the crops in the first place. I'm not sure how much of it comes from oil, but they use a lot of natural gas.
