Ya know the ones that run on vegetable oil? I tried calling and I got some nerdario's voice mail and I left a message twice to no avail... Is this shit still going on?
from what I remember most of these ideas fell through due to lack of consistency. there were a number of hippies that made their vw vans run on veggie oil but it wasn't meant for long rides. I could be wrong though. I didn't know you could rent them.
Out in the Midwest they have more gas stations that carry ethanol fuel for cars that have ethanol capabilities. But from what I understand there hasnt been much progress in that area and it's not reliable like gas cars.
Doesn't really matter but in India they are developing air-powered cars. hoepfully that'll hit the states soon.
everything these days is hybrid or straight up electric.
I called em' three times... I assume they are no longer

the hivsmashers had one, if i remembercorrectly they paid 1500 for a week and it came with enough fuel to last almost the entire time. it was pretty sweet, butyou could seriously just buy your own van for that much money.
