That's very interesting...I hadn't heard that before. I saw the film as a child but I can't say that I've studied it at all.

I just recall that from the "making of" DVD, which included an interview with the owner of the operable GEN11. I don't think he explicitly said why it was butane powered, but I know butane is used for indoor forklifts because its emissions are safer than those of diesel or gasoline; I would think the same issues would apply to a car used in studio.

That makes perfect sense....they wouldn't have had to drive the movie car any sort of a long distance, after all.
