Spotted @ UK Tabloid - The SUNPRINCE CHARLES is helping to save the planet – by running his famous Aston Martin on WHITE WINE.
The classic gas-guzzler, a DB6 Volante given to the Prince by the Queen to mark his 21st birthday in 1970, has been overhauled to make it more environmentally-friendly.
It now runs on bioethanol extracted from local vineyards’ surplus plonk – at a cost of £1.10 ($2.00) per litre. [for those that don't know, 1 gallon = approx 3.78 litre's]
And, with the eco-friendly fuel burning at nearly 10 per cent more efficiently than petrol/gas the 150mph motor even goes FASTER at 165mph.
The Aston Martin quaffs 3½ bottles of wine per mile. But at £1.10 a litre, the eco-Prince beats the current fuel crisis and saves money at the pumps.The 59-year-old Royal’s scheme was revealed yesterday as Clarence House published his annual accounts.
