He had his engineers convert the car to run on wine.

So there you go polibaws. Just get your engineers to convert your cars to run on wine. Granted, Prince Charles drives this car about 2 miles per year, so you will need to spend more on wine for fuel.
quote:

The Prince of Wales is known for his devotion to environmental causes, so it was naturally an issue that his vintage Aston Martin was such a gas-guzzler. Queen Elizabeth gave him the car for his 21st birthday, and he was determined to continue to drive it, guilt free.

quote:

Engineers at Aston Martin had discovered the car could run on English white wine (albeit mixed with a whey). Still, they urged the Prince not to switch out his fuel. "The engineers at Aston said, 'Oh, it’ll ruin the whole thing,'" he said, according to The Telegraph.

quote:

Charles wasn't about to take no for an answer. "I said, 'Well I won’t drive it then,' so they got on with it and now they admit that it runs better and is more powerful on that fuel than it is on petrol... And also, it smells delicious as you’re driving along."

quote:

But the maintenance workers might quibble with that, he admitted. "They say it clogs up the engine or something." For the Prince of Wales, it's imperative that we all start to make these changes. "We’re running out of time because the necessary action hasn’t been taken, has it?" he said of climate change. "That’s the problem."

And people wonder why his 93 year old mother has never abdicated in his favor.

They should slap solar panels on his ears, or alternatively, use his ears as sails to propel the car. Jesus he is fricking useless.

Great, he's really concerned about the environment. Now his carbon footprint is only 1000x that of ours.

Running a car on wine probably has more of a carbon footprint than gasoline

He converted a car that most of us couldn't afford, to run on a beverage that costs more than gasoline, and there's no proof that wine runs cleaner than gas.

He lives in a mansion that runs up a massive electric bill each month, that's paid for by the public in the UK.

Idiot with too much money.

Tell me again why Britain still has royalty? Are the tourism dollars worth the money spent on that pack of leeches?

I glad he able to make such a brave and stunning sacrifice. A shining example that we should all follow.
