@theteacuphead i think almost any car can be converted. i think cars newer than 1994 should have ethanol tolerant hoses, but you might want to double check. as far as gas stations i got the list from my local station.
Fifth gear is making episodes very unproffesional way... New Jag vs. 15-20 years old Mercedes...... I bet making this test took them half an hour...... On the other hand Top Gear is tearing their asses when they are making some test.. They try to fit everything in 10 minits..Overall Fifth gear is fucking lazy and look stupid...
@E60BMWM5 well, TG has way better quality of films, better crew and more money, but you cant say that testing aston martin v8 vantage roadster versus man on jet powered rollerskates is more profferional than this test etc:D both are crazy and that's the point. if you are looking scientific tests, go to germany sites:D
what a p**s poor test? Should have done the stock jag v's that jag and stock merc v's their merc. Then worked out resuts on percentages. I used "Veggie oil" no power increase at all when i used second hand oil all the good stuff is gone by then, on the new stuff all the good stuff is still there, but not much better
What the hell, those brits look at LPG and similar implants like they where the future, we in italy use them since the 80s, in ALL gasoline cars and the pretty cheap transplant gives you a gasoline\LPG or methane hybrid
Here in Sweden the methane is produced in sewage facilities. It occurs naturally. So why waste it and release it into the sky, as methane is a 'greenhouse gas'? Opel, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, VW all these makes have CNG/Biogas cars in their model ranges. How come it hasn't reached Britain?
the chip fat idea is accesible to everyone and easy to do, but people are shit scared to try it and instead carry on buying diesel. There are many alternative fuels, we do no need electric crap. But these alternatives are kept hush hush, or dismissed out right. like the sugar cane fuels, they perform better than petrol and is sustainable but then every "green" bitch started saying people would starve if we used crops for fuel, wtf. These people basically dont want cars full stop.
there is no where near enough cooking oil for people to run there cars. you need to read up more on electric cars and get your facts straight. And it is true that there is not enough space to grow bio fuels to meet our cars needs.
There is enough room. If say the UK for instance was to become totally self sufficient, by building nuclear power stations, and taking land of land owners there would be plenty of room. And im sure we have the technology of irrigation system, and hydroponics to grow any plant on earth by artificial means (and the help of Genetically modified). So Bio ethanol or similar could easily be achieved.
the thing is about electrical cars is they are charged with electricity. where does electricity come from? answer is burning oil and gas and fossil fuel.
so these stupid shitty electric and hybrids cars are not relevant to the real problem!.
the batterys are lituim and stuff that we mine, so we will run out of litium to !
so toyota , honda, lexus , chevy(GM) are in a wonderland !!!!
im 15 and have worked out it is more eco-nomical to stick with effiecient diesel and petrol and gas
the thing is getting this electricity by clean and green production methods. I'm not an ecologist, but there is enough evidence to realize that we won't be able to keep today's production methods much longer
even though it is hurtful to you, you're not the center of the universe, so i don't care whether you'll be around or not. If everyone were so selfish we wouldn't be able to establish societies
You are right about the electric cars... but keep in mind that windmils are suitable to provide energy for cars... infact israel plans to doubble the amount of windmils they have and replace all civilian cars with electric ones because: they get 5% of their energy from wind and the energy used by electic cars would be 10% so they figgured its not utopic to get new alt-energy systems up and running
but israel just stole the land, and they just killed and drove out all the palastenians out of their land, but the US somehow keep giving them support.
#2 : in top gear *the UK show* they did a reasearch and found that making the toyota paruis -the most eco-car in the world-, is more harmful to the enviroment than a V8, look for the show about it.
so it's not about the car type.
the only clean thing to me is a bicycle, and only that. :D
don't you think straight, they drove the prius at full speed ar car designed to be most efficient at 50-100km/hr into a headwind where it was chased by a very very expensive autobahn car which is most efficient at 80-170km/hr. Not to mention the BMW was in the slipstream of the prius making the BMW up to 30% efficient compared to it being in a head wind. You are very ignorant
Of course it will never happen because of how the world works. And also because people with supposedly "green" agendas are dead set against nuclear power, genetic modification, and for some reason they have bought the idea that everyone will starve if we use crops as fuel. I dont want electric cars as the future. Either way climate change is a load of BS. C02 emissions are BS.
"about the most harmful that comes out the exhaust is the smell" so the smell of burnt fat is wose than large amounts of CO2 and CO along with everything elce that comes out fo diesel engines?
my car runs on liquefied petroleum gas at 1/3 of the petrols price per litre and the gas emitions are equal to an euro 3 car (my car is a non euro) so i think its greener and cheaper than petrol or diesel
the biggest problem with these sorts of fuel, is that they are not green, most people say that they are carbon neutral, by growing the plant, sucking up C02 then burning it , releasing the C02, but that is wrong, as if that were true it would break the 2nd of the 3 laws of thermodynamics , which can not happen.
the biggest problem , is trying to get an fuel that stores enough energy and doesnt disrupt food creation. but being as we have at least another 100 years of oil, we wont be around
Ever heard of a process called photosynthesis? 6 CO2 + 12 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
O2 is released when the "fuel" grows. So fuels based entirely on products of photosynthesis are carbon neutral (the fuel serves as a battery for solar power). Crude oil is basically carbon neutral too... you just have to use a different time as reference to define "neutral" (Carboniferous and earlier).
The reason these fuels are not popular is because the goverment can't tax it. So yeah the goverment really want to save our planet.... yeah right. They want Money.
why dont we all research these fuels, as there available now, instead of blowing millions on slow E85, and hydrogen?! Hydrogens so weak, the BMW Hydrogen7 puts out 240 hp, and its based on a 760Li(Good for 438 hp)!
