So what will your car be running on ten years down the line? Petrol? Unlikely. Or most likely you will end up pawning your house for a tank-full. Diesel? Not much different from petrol and noisier.
Alcohol?
Why waste it down a car's throat when it can easily go down one's throat. Ethanol? Very likely if the government and the sugar industry's share prices are any indicators.
Electricity?
Would be a good idea except with the power cuts in North India, I would mostly end up peddling to work than use my Reva. Cow dung emulsion? Again a very good idea except its quite smelly. Human excreta? Imaginative. Crap and go!
