Now, it would appear that even members of the British royalty are setting the example for the noble fuel-saving cause. Prince Charles has converted his 38 year old Aston Martin - a gift from the Queen - to run on bio-ethanol. Post conversion, the car now reports consumption figures of ten miles per gallon, which equates to about 45 bottles of wine per ten miles. The wine, though, puts out 85-percent less CO2 and costs £1.10 per liter, which is less than the cost of petrol in Britain.
It has been reported that a vineyard in Wiltshire has been producing surplus wine that is sold to Green Fuels, a company which specialises in the conversion of wine into fuel.
