    Talking Today on a motorbike, tomorrow in a RR

    Japan's best-known toilet maker has put a "poop-powered" motorbike on display at its showroom, saying it can drive 300 kilometres on a full load of gas made from animal waste.

    Billed as the world's first waste-powered vehicle, the three-wheeler has a toilet in place of a regular seat and huge paper roll at the back.

    But manufacturer TOTO was quick to point out that the vehicle's driver would not supply the "gas".

    "The biogas it uses as fuel is not made from human waste. It's made from livestock waste and sewage," company spokesman Kenji Fujita said.
    Some one will look into that

    That ideas not new, saw this on Beyond Tomorrow 5-10 years ago. It's a Swedish company that extracts the Methane from cow **** and basically uses it in a gas injection internal combustion engine IIRC
