A Truck That Runs On Coffee

cafe coffee burning truck A Truck That Runs On Coffee

Is this the perfect truck for that early morning commute – you know, the whole ‘wake me up’ aroma thing that Folgers instituted? The Cafe Racer is a 1975 GMC pickup that burns used coffee to make it go. According to Gas2 the engine used to burn the coffee can burn other types of fuels, such as wood chips, old tires (smog issue I’d think), and other trash. I wonder if certain types of coffee works better, just like in humans except that’s caffeine related.

Go here for additional coffee burning details.
