This is what we should be doing with our used coffee grounds! Anyone want to volunteer a vehicle to try this on?

    i have been wondering for a while if something like ethonol based fuel is achievable from used Grinds, and i kinda came to the conclusion that most of the sugars etc needed to produce some are used. Am very keen to know if there is a way to do so.. would love to run my vespa on “coffee”..

    An interesting angle to the story that wasn’t covered was the truck owner Chicken John recently ran for Mayor of San Francisco.
