Forget solar power for saving fuel costs - the Hyundai Tucson can run on something that's plentiful all over the world: sewage. This poop-powered car looks just like a regular SUV, except the way it moves forward daily is very different than the average vehicle.
Drivers can get access to this sewage from the Orange County Sanitation District, but hopefully more of these access points will come. The car company stated that since it already had the technology to make the Hyundai Tucson, it made sense to go ahead and manufacture, then hope that fuel stations would pop up. Considering the co-friendly nature of this car, there are high hopes that people will get on board. However, there is still no word as to how much this alternative type of fuel will cost.
