Algaeus claims 150 mpg on renewable algae-based fuel
Toyota and Sapphire are working together on a new project involving a Prius powered by gasoline created from algae. To promote the Prius, dubbed Algaeus, the vehicle along with other green automobiles will go on a cross-country road trip lasting ten days.
The Algaeus is a plug-in hybrid that runs a fuel that is algae-based and renewable. The cross-country trip is in part to celebrate the launch of a film called FUEL that shows green energy solutions. The special hybrid automobile claims to be able to get 150 miles to a gallon of fuel. The tour kicked off yesterday in San Francisco and is set to end in New York on September 18 with stops in other major cities along the way.

I had a baking soda & vinegar rocket as a kid. Only 1 explosion but the same thing happens with liquid air & steam except over & over w/out fuel pumps$$$. Like tornadoes, just inside the engine cylinder.
