Afaik there are such fuels, but are much more expensive. From what I read it could shift and rich will be able to ride vehicless with combustion engines using eco fuel, while us plebs will drive electric
It costs about £1.80 per litre to make your own bio diesel in the uk at the moment using supermarket vegetable oil (or even less if you bulk buy) so I don’t see eco fuels being so expensive that it’s unaffordable to anyone who can already afford a car.
Not an expert, I just said what I heard. But how many people would be able to make fuel at home and be confident enough to pour it in their tank? I imagine there would also need to be some regulations on this.
Buy again - not an expert.
Honestly, I don't even care if that's the case. Cars are becoming more like living rooms on wheels and less engaging overall (less about driving and more about being driven), so I don't even care what I drive when the time comes, so long as it isn't a piece of garbage with a shoddily-built interior. Hell, I'd rather just not have a car at all at that point, but we don't have the infrastructure here (in the US) for that.
