Don't ask me, I'm not suggesting they can. Merely pointing out the irony of Volkswagen pulling out of wrc because of the diesel gate scandal and the subsequent bent on electricity when the performance arm of there sister company is going from what is perceived to be cleaner petrol engines to diesels which will always have a stigma attached to them nowadays.

Where I live, people are encouraged to recycle waste cooking oil. They can leave it at supermarkets or even on public buses. A company then processes it into diesel fuel and the same buses run it. I don't know if that is environmentally friendly though, because whenever a bus drives by me I want to buy a hamburger and chips!

In terms of using byproducts instead of crude oil, it is...but burning it is not. I´d say in pollution terms, the opposite...but using old oil as fuel mostly makes me think about w123 Mercs also.

All that talk now remaind me of that orange Scoda from one rally when they have exhaust mounted on the hood and it was smoking from it like some old locomotive. Still makes me laugh 😂

I tried to argue here that enforcing hybrids as new core technology in new tech regulations might not be motivating for manufacturers because by that time it is old technology aldready and carries little marketing value. Seems that VW is making this decision already now : https://www.thedrive.com/news/31162/...Pa5yd8x8o4u3ug
At 65 years old retirement is a very real option.
