It ' s pretty common . <| sep |> How did you do in the first season in champions league and the bpl table ? What place you get <| sep |> My car can ' t drive through four feet of snow . Back home , they used to close off sections of interstate by blocking the onramps . <| sep |> One thing to consider is that internal combustion engines can run on things other than gasoline or oil products . Engines in general can run , and specific engines can be made to run on , a wide variety of fuels . Believe it or not you can actually run an engine off of wood . When heated wood produces flammable gas which burns on contact with air , producing the flames you see in a fire . If you heat wood in an oxygen poor environment you can capture this gas and cool it to below its autoignition temperature by running it through a radiator . The initial heating can be done with more wood . For something like a car the fuel is very bulky and less energy dense than gasoline , and you would have to carry a big gasifier with you since storing it as a compressed gas makes bulk problem even worse , but you could use virtually any flammable plant to power it , with maximum power and miles to the pound probably coming from charcoal . There ' s also , fermentation based fuels , and . All of these have to do with taking some form of bio matter and turning it into a flammable substance . Biodiesel is the refinement of oily substances vegetable oil , animal fat into burnable fuel . Fermentation is the bacterial conversion of sugars into alcohols such as methanol , butanol , and ethanol , and can be done on most plant material . Biogas is the collection of gases given off by decaying material mostly methane and hydrogen which are flammable this can be done to pretty much all plant material , faeces , and food waste . In some cases it ' s possible to cascade the waste from one of these processes into another . I don ' t know if there ' s conditions where all three processes can be cascaded into one another like , extract oil , ferment remains to get alcohol , decay remains along with all your other waste to get biogas , but that would be cool .
