BEER.
"Yes, Believe it or not, your car could be fueled by beer.
According to a news report in Monday's Denver Post, Coors Brewing Co. uses waste from the beer production process to produce approximately 1.5 million gallons of ethanol, which is then sold in the wholesale market."

That article is kinda misleading. I guess it makes a catchy headline, but beer doesn't have jack to do with powering those cars. All that article was saying is that Coors is taking their spent grains and making ethanol from them. I thought it was going to be something neat like making a car that actually runs on beer. That would be pretty neat. However, I agree with OLDMAN. If we can get one to run on piss, then I can just drink beer and take care of fueling the car at the same time.

on a complete tangent.. this guy in europe was in his car and an avalanche trapped him in it.. he had a case of beer, so he drank it all and pissed out the window, melted the snow and got out
