Hopefully we can say goodbye to petrol as a fuel.

This clearly has to be the way forwards.

Mighty car mods is still around? Electric is probably the future, or in the mean time electric with a petrol engine. Speaking of hybrids the new koenigsegg agera is a beast. If you turn off STM and TCS the torque alone can rip the tyres...

Ethanol fuel is equally harmful to the environment, it burns odourless but it produces a hell lot of CO2

It's also renewable and able to be made from many things.

We have plenty of renewable energy sources that don't produce tons of greenhouse gases, we have to stop global warming too

Leave a like if you breathed oxygen today

i dont see any of the old fuels going anywhere for as long as its literally a 50% cost saver to dumpster dive a generator in belgium and run your house off that instead of the power grid...

 

but yeah... however much electric is the future, its good to se advancements in fuel tech.

I was hoping this wouldn't be a electric car video. Will never buy one. Ever.

 

Not as easy to do maintainable drift because all of the torque instantly, you're more likely to spin out. No thanks.

Assuming the ethanol comes from crops, the net contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere is precisely zero. Fossil fuels are different, because the carbon source was not the atmosphere, but underground deposits.

E85 is utter garbage.

Does it still gunk up your engine faster?

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Nothing will replace petrol anytime soon until the big companies are forced to

 

You don't have any choice, electric cars also are as harmful to the environment in the long term

One of the big things I'll always look for in a car is driftability. Just how I am. Always go RWD, and good cars for drifting. E36, S13, NA Miata, stuff of that nature.

Yes that is because you are a petrolhead (me too btw), EV's are the future whether we like it or not, soon all the dinosaur juice will be gone 

 

On another note, i'd kill someone for an FC3S if only it existed in my damn country

E5 and E10 are common in many places, even mandatory sometimes.

Hey as long as Americans still have Latin American and Middle East countries to introduce "democracy" to petrol isn't going anywhere. But well they will eventually tap that out (pun intended)

E85 really isn't that great

I've got one of those fancy flex-fuel cars that can actually handle it

And when i go for E85 instead of petrol my range is significantly reduced 

And you still have to mix petrol and E85 on really cold days etc

 

Oh. And its been around for quite a while now and still hasn't taken off

It turns gas lines to goo if they're not rated for E85 but that's not the problem. The problem is that E85 is a huge waste of resources and has one of the worst efficiency ratings of any burnable fuel we currently use.

I'd rather have an EV than an autonomous car.
