The Bio-Bug has been converted by a team of British engineers to be powered by biogas, which is produced from human waste at sewage works across the country. They believe the car is a viable alternative to electric vehicles.
Excrement flushed down the lavatories of just 70 homes is enough to power the car for 10,000 miles - the equivalent of one average motoring year.
This conversion technology has been used in the past but the Bio-Bug is Britain's first car to run on methane gas without its performance being reduced. It can power a conventional two litre VW Beetle convertible to 114mph.

Gee, that seems a lot cleaner than that nasty old oil.
Was that a picture of re-fueling the car?
Finally an alternate fuel vehicle that the federal government is uniquely qualified to make practical.

70 homes worth of excrement can, so they are claiming, power one MicroMobile for one year.
Given we are discussing a “Green Tech” vehicle, the annual mileage is probably assumed to be 10,000 or less.
After all, how far can a Libtard drive in one year on their way to and from FiveBucks and their barrista job?
Call me when they make one that runs on farts - that would be my ticket to financial freedom......
Plus you must remember not to confuse the TurdMobile and the Poop Coupe with the old Spit Box.
oh, poo.
