A lot of folks need a cup of joe before they hop in the car for their morning commute, but now there’s a car that does as well. The Car-puccino is the creation of scientists on the BBC program Bang Goes the Theory and will travel 210 miles from Manchester to London.
While the idea of driving a coffee-powered vehicle is awesome, it’s unfortunately not that practical. The Car-puccino team estimates the vehicle will travel three miles per kilo of java, or 53 espressos, meaning the coffee car will suck down more caffeine than a Greyhound driver working a double shift. The journey from Manchester to London will consume the equivalent of 11,760 espressos and will cost roughly fifty times more than it would with gasoline.
Given the facts, coffee-fueled cars won’t be hitting the market any time soon, but imagine for a moment how glorious gas stations would become? Hipsters might even start driving again.
