Prince Charles' Modded Aston Martin Burns 4.5 Bottles of Wine Per Mile

Prince Charles has discovered the perfect use for crappy English wine: He is using it as biofuel for his classic Aston Martin DB6. The Prince converted the 38-year old car to accept ethanol to play his part in reducing carbon emissions in the UK. The wine in question is a white distilled from the excess stock of a vineyard near Swindon, Wiltshire, which has the leftover wine because of EU quota restrictions, and not because it sucks or anything. Chuck's ride gets an awfully low 10mpg, equal to 4.5bwpm (bottles of wine per mile), but it pairs nicely with his tilapia-powered subwoofer, so who's to complain? [Daily Mail via Jalopnik]

Only a prince could afford that..I hope we all get to using water as a fuel soon.

I`m sure the Royal family gets a lot of Wine from their rich friends, so they use the crappy wine to fuel their cars.

Water can be used as fuel, but the technology is too expensive for the average person to afford, or not a lot of big companies are not willing to invest in the idea.
