Prince Charles’s Aston consumes 4.5 bottles of wine per kilometre
July 5, 2008
Prince Charles converted his 38 year old car Aston to run on bio-fuel made from wine. Available surplus wine used for bio-ethanol production, helped Prince Charles to reduce carbon emission. The car was a present from Queen Elizabeth on Charles’s 21st birthday.
The car is sparingly used clocking up usage of 300 miles a year at 16 Km/ gallon. In other words, 4.5 bottles of wine is consumed for each mile covered. Fleet of several jaguars, a Range Rover, and an Audi no longer pollute the environment as they are converted and made to run on bio-diesel fuel made from used cooking oil there by biding good bye to carbon emission.
In Prince Charles household’s 2008 annual review, it was also disclosed that beside bio-fuel usage, utilising green electricity supplies has resulted in reduction of 18 per cent travel-related emissions. With the spiraling prices of conventional fuel, even a small step like the one taken by Prince Charles if followed, will certainly make us live in unpolluted environment in times to come when the bio-diesel fuel will take over.
