BOSTON (Reuters Life!) - Fueled by leftover chocolate
and with components made from carrots, potato starch and flax,
the world's first sustainable Formula 3 racing car has a top
speed of 135 miles per hour and can go from zero to 60 in 2.5
seconds.
Sound nuts? Not yet -- brake pads made from cashews are
still under development.

But how long does it take to get to 88MPH? And can it generate
1.21 gigawatts?

Exactly! Show me a car that runs on chocolate wrappers and then I'll
give you your kudos.

Didn't read past those grafs, didja? The eighth graf: "The 2.0-liter BMW
engine has been converted to diesel from gasoline and configured to run
on fuel derived from _waste from chocolate factories_ or other
plant-based oils." [Emphasis added.]
