You can use Liquefied propane gas, turkey or even dirty diapers to fuel your car! This may seem far-fetched but there are quite a few people using this type of fuel to get their car from point A to B.

Liquefied Propane Gas
Also known as LPG, this is one of the cleanest fuels available. Many people are discovering the benefits of this fuel such as the low price and it also reduces CO2 emission. As with other gases, you will not harm your vehicle with this type of gas. Currently, there are 1,520 stations which use only petrol for vehicles. The USA government fully supports this type of gas and therefore they will be investing to add new stations in the future. By 2015, it is estimated that the Petrol station count will rise to 5,000.
Coffee
Yes, there is a way to utilize old coffee grounds for your vehicle. Some people use coffee grounds for printer ink or dyes. Although you have to go through the gasification process, you can still use this as a fuel for your car.
Diaper Power
Believe it or not, you can use disposable diapers to fuel your car. There are practically millions of these sitting in landfills. Some of them have been around for 400 years or more. Roughly 30,000 pounds of diapers is equivalent to 5,000 pounds in Biodiesel fuel.
Turkey
Currently, hundreds of turkey plants are practically throwing away valuable left overs like the bones, fat and feathers. One company called “Changing World Technologies” has used Turkeys as a way to create alternative Turkey based Biofuel for vehicles. They have even found a way to take the waste from other livestock animals and transform it into cleaner, alternate energy.
