Fuel price thread - with a twist.

[Gwagon111]

Having read a lot of Mumsnet type threads on here, regarding the price of fuel, MPG, should I buy a DERV, etc. I was thinking, what is the most expensive thing you could run a car on (not including conventional fuels), how much would it cost to fill your tank, and what MPG do you think you would achieve?

No fuel could ever match the cost of insurance!

[ludicrous speed]

Plutonium or some st? I'd imagine the mp(g?) would be pretty good though, just the initial cost might be a bit pricey.

"Viz" had a character (Mickey?) that ran a moped on monkey spunk!

I wouldn't think that will come[sic] cheap!

Rocket Fuel is night on $1000 a gallon isnt it?

"Pete's Monkey spunk moped" ?.....are you sure ?

Vintage Krug Clos d'Ambonnay, is about 2500 quid a litre. That would hurt a lot if I had to run my car on that. A 60 litre tank, and 26 mpg would hurt .

Bull spunk is pricey I'm reliably informed....

Printer ink.

ETA - If Printer ink is $8000 per US Gallon (Price from internet most likely wrong). It would cost Approx £71,601 to fill my 55 litre tank.

What about gold, and some form of gold-melting fuel tank?

£2.1million for a 75-litre tank by my positively dubious maths, if it's £28/gram.

Big LOL at that wikipedia entry.

Saffron is pretty expensive. A quick google suggests something like £3,000 per kilo if you buy in bulk.

Assuming a density of 1 then it's cost £222,000 to fill my tank.

I'm not sure what it would do to the performance though.

Petrol in 20 years time from now!

I say again..... Bull spunk
