    British Engineers Develop Feces-Powered Car

    British Engineers Develop Feces-Powered Car


    The Bio-Bug has been converted by UK engineers to run on methane gas.

    Excrement flushed down the loos (toilets) of just 70 homes is enough to drive it 10,000 miles - a year's average motoring.

    The two-litre VW Beetle convertible is said to be the first gas-powered car that does not suffer reduced performance.

    Mohammed Saddiq of Bristol-based sustainable energy firm GENeco, which developed the prototype, says it will pave the way for a green motoring revolution.

    He boasts that it drives like a conventional car and will "blow away" electric models.

    Great idea and another good reason to hit the big buffets. A couple of world-class dumps each week takes care of your fuel expenses!!

    Well, at least they'll have an excuse for why the cars run like shit.

    The bad news is it would take much more crap to fuel a modern day drivers car than we could even begin to produce with crap.

    The good news is liberals will be able to finally get jobs, jobs they are good at too as crap spewing fuelers in stations world wide.
