Countercounterpoint : Carpuccino ? Really ?
A while ago we read thatcoffee - based biofuelswere feasible . Knowing the internet as we do , we figured it was only a issue of time before somebody took that fresh possibility and turned it into an absurd reality . We were right ! The Carpuccino , a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco modified to run on ground coffee , will drive 210 miles between Manchester and London in the come weeks .

The stumble will require over 150 pounds of coffee , with the railcar getting a mileage of some 1.4 mil per pound . The vehicle can hit velocity of 60 miles per hour , though the trip could take as long as ten hours , as the gondola has to stop every 60 miles to clean out its coffee filter ( seriously ) .
The put-on on wheels was build by the BBC1 show Bang Goes The Theory as a admonisher that unconventional fuels can power vehicles . Sidebar : the Carpuccino ’s tripper will be up to 50 sentence as much as it would if it were work on accelerator .
