The Dung Beetle

VW calls it the Bio-Bug. Gizmodo calls it the Dung Beetle. (That's the name I prefer)

Either way it is a VW Bug that runs on the methane gas created and captured during the sewage treatment process.

The cars recently debut in the UK to promote renewable energy options.

While I think the concept is fantastic, I can't decide what would make driving around in one of these cars more challenging:
  1. Driving in a car with the phrase "Powered by your waste!" on the side
  2. The jokes and noises my kids would make when riding along in the backseat.
