    The Peugoet 108 is a good option, but for the same price I could get a Toyota Aygo, which has better reviews.

    Try going for the Aygo then.

    You could also try the Citgo/Up!/Mii as well.

    My mate owns a Volkswagen Up!, it's a good car, except the plastic in the interior squeaks constantly and it drives me insane.

    You'd probably be better off with the Aygo.

    Biogas is already widely used in several countries such as Sweden and Germany. Why it isn't much talked about? Why is there no hype? First, because an eccentric multimillionaire who builds biogas-powered expensive and super-fast toys for rich people doesn't exist. Second, because it doesn't qualify as "zero emission" (nobody gives a shit that it goes into the atmosphere either way). Third, because biogas doesn't make the creation of super-fast cars easier. Fourth, because vehicle powered by literally garbage doesn't seem so fashionable.

    As long as there are landfills and farm waste, biogas-powered ICE will always have fuel.

    Koeniggseggs can run on biofuel.
    You can also burn it in power plants and distribute to anything, including cars. MPGe numbers are usually better than comparable MPG.
    Argument for electric.
    Well, if DiCaprio had a Prius...

    Well, he does own a Toyota, only that it's a Lexus, but it's a hybrid like the Prius, but it's an LS600hL.


    Oh, and he's got a Fisker too.

    Why the hell would they, if untapped synthetic resources would be a much better premise? Just imagine how much support would a government get if they announced a new, clean-burning, untapped resource, even just through gas price drops, and how much a scandal would it be if an opposition party announced the government is hiding such a thing.

    Well, synthetic fuel actually does exist, the Wehrmacht used it in WWII. It's just that it's so expensive to make that it does not make much sense to use it in a non-emergency situation.

    He used to have a Prius before the LS600 was released.

    I remember watching a video about Fisker (the old Fisker company, not the revived one) and that video mentioned DiCaprio as one of the owners of the Karma.

    You don't need to make a conspiracy to be one. You agreed to @redrobin's conspiracy.

    Do you need to invent football to be a footballer?

    Those are conspiracy followers, not conspiracists.

    You mean one that just doesn't really care for electric cars and doesn't really have much to say?

    I sit back and I watch the world. I look at what's happening in politics and how countries interact with each other and I find it a little odd how everyone talks a big game, then never fires missiles. It just seems a little odd. In my mind, there's no way that it's real and not some sort of façade. I dunno, I'll just go put on my tinfoil hat or something. That's what I sound like, anyway.

    I repeat the question:
    Also, it's quite politically strong to say "hey, my peace talks stopped WWIII", and I prefer that to actually firing missiles.

    So the public thinks exactly like you, then turns us against each other. They make money by scaring the public into certain ways of thinking.

    You poor thing, they have you. Start thinking, stop believing what your government is telling you. They're lying to you.
