  • chip fat wins.doesnt blow up

  • It is high time to say NO to the oil industry.

    They are far too greedy.

  • LOLLLL. MEEEEETHANE ROFL

  • And a boy who looks like a terrorist.......only on fifth gear.

  • Fifth Gear is crap!!!!!!!

  • Mmmm Johnny Smith - blue jeans with flip flop's, how sexy does he look ...

  • Awesome, idea for cheap ride!

  • Thats Lord Sommersby

  • Duh. The Jag is a flagship car thus it has a more powerful engine than the Merc so it performed better regardless of fuel type.

  • My Civic runs on my fumes...

  • how the fuck can it be a test if they use different cars??????? retards

  • I stick with Ethanol. it should beet both of those fuels.

  • @switchgrassfuel I have been thinking of using ethanol. What cars can run on it? and Is there a website showing all the ethanol stations.

  • @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.

  • 0:19 and also proving you don't have noses!

  • 200 bar?? Another car crashing you from behind... that must be beautiful.

  • really super sup 9

  • really sup 9

  • they say meeethane rofl

  • 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

  • fifth gear are more realistic in testing cars that topgear,top gear has to make a joke about every car they test and at some point it's annoying.

  • @E60BMWM5 Its not Jag vs Mercedes. Its vegetable oil vs Methane.

  • i wouldnt really be happy riding with methane at 200bar in my trunk... imagine if that went up?

  • nothing happens. Methane tank can survive a big crash, if methane go out the tank it freezes and fly outisde immediatly.

    In italy is like 60 years that people convert cars to go on methane (we have methane station too and is VEEEERY cheap.)

  • @BINGBONGGG 4/5 of cabs in Bulgaria run on it. People still get in and come out undercooked. :)

  • @BINGBONGGG imagine if your fuel tank went up. it's about the same thing...

  • @BINGBONGGG It's 12mm steel. No way you'd punch a hole in that.

  • 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

  • yea, this is a fucking stupid test, how can you compare a new jag, to an old mercedes??

  • They really shouldve got a diesel jag to fuel with vegetable oil. Wouldve made this a whole lot more relevant

  • What a douche for ruining a jag.

  • If it were a classic Jag that'd stink, but all he did was modify a newer Tarus looking Jag.

  • jags are a problem on wheels.

  • wow top gear is way better

  • @serbmafioso3 No Shit..

  • 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

  • Peugueto 306 XNd can do it i think.......chpfat I think.

  • I love that "boy who looks like a terrorist" remark.

  • Funny cos he is jewish i guess

  • dont bullshit me, its a new Jag vs an old Mercedes.

  • 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?

  • probably because our so called government makes too much money on tax revenue from the sale of petrol and diesel

  • what an idiot ?? bwahahaha typical english faggots

  • agreed, i hate hearing the word rubbish....USA USA USA!

  • what an idiot he is comparing the time of a 1980's car with that of a 2000 and something model! plus it a diesel merc. no brainer

  • your dum what if they get a brand new diesel and then the chip fat ruins the car orsomething then they are scrud....

  • what the fuck are you on about! go and ride a camel!

  • go play with you kagaroos dick

  • so was I thinking, it makes totally no sense!

    Its like testing a prius with a porsche of the 30's altough I think the 30's porsche would still win

  • 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.

  • I HATE ECO CARS!!!

  • you are a douche :)

  • godd screw all this green shit the world has about 100-150 years left of oil wats the fuss bout?

  • actually no more than 40 years left of oil at today's rhytm of production

  • REALLY ?

    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

  • also nuclear fuel is also quite dirty , toxic waste england simply seal it in concrete and put it in the english channel.

    its all a load of bollocks really, if you want to save the world think about how to solve and already bad problem! fuels!

    its simple make petrol out of the sun like in USA , to be honest i hate hybrids and electric cars !

    !!!LONG LIVE INTERNAL COMBUSTION!!!

  • 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

  • listen im not gonna be around in like 60 years soo uno ......

  • 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

  • dude I like you

    only what ? 50 60 years left for us ?

    I bought a muscle car, if there is no enough oil. let me be the one who waste it all :)

  • Yeh its true wat i say about electric cars they are piontless! they make more problems than they are worth this messsage.

    should go around the world!

  • 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

  • yeh true but electric cars i mean come on WTF ?

    u at a drag strip n ur like yeh ive got a twin battery pack wow!

    though at a drage strip now u can say yeh a 7.3 litre V12 Biturbo uno its jst like , without internal combustion the world would not work!

  • I might be a little off point here

    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.

  • dude, slipstream is when you follow a bigger car anot a smaller one!

    and I wasn't talking about the praius, I'm talking about how is making it, make the world daretier ..

  • "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

  • an aluminum jaguar that runs on methane

  • mee thane huh that'l help my impression

  • 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).

  • this is the most stupid test ever regardless of fuel. A modern jaguar vs 80s merc?

  • h/o the chip oil is fine 2 use. but dont u think that food should be eaten.  So many starving people and we just used to to save money.

  • 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.

  • agreed

  • man i absafuckinglulty agree

  • I wonder.. what happens when you have a crash with a tank with 200bar in the back?

    Both are awesome ways to be clean though :D

    Awesome shit.

  • Probebly nothing since the tank is made out of 12mm thick steel

  • dOES that guy have a spliff?

  • i thought i was the only one that saw that

  • whats spliff?

  • a joint

  • whats that?

  • marajauana cig.

  • Yay! Let's figure out a way for everyone on the planet to get away from petroeum fuel dependency.

  • That is good!

  • chip, apple?? I thought this video is about computers

  • LOL...me also

  • i thought they will put an apple chip in a car

  • The guy in the Jag is Mr Grumpy, at least he floored his car correctly in the test.

  • 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)!
