Wood + Charcoal-Powered Car
Seen at Automechanika Frankfurt 2006, was this biomass “blast from the past”. A 3.5l V6 1938 Opel Kapitän which ran on wood and charcoal almost seventy years ago.
According to greencarcongress.com, "Charcoal burning conversion kits, which are really wood gas generators, enjoyed a brief civilian and military niche market in England, Germany, Australia, the United States, and other countries up to and during World War II. Wood gas generators were used to power taxis in Korea as late as 1970."
Fuel economy: 100 km / 38 kg of charcoal. The exhibitors, Alternative Kraftstoffe und Hybridantreibe didn't mention the CO2 emissions data.

Fuel is the adrenaline of any car, truck or engine. Thus, it is every vehicle owner's wish to enhance the fuel of their car and save more of it as well. With this in mind, the most innovative fuel-saving tool in the automotive industry was conceptualized and created: the Tornado Fuel Saver. An automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, the Tornado Fuel Saver allows the air to move in a faster and more efficient way by whirling air around corners and bends. Hence, more fuel is saved. Search engine optimization, Try to Be happy
