I know this is very loosely related to "household" but you do not have to be a car enthusiast to realise this is pretty epic.
Those cleaver Germans at Audi have made diesel from carbon dioxide and water.
None of this hybrid/plug-in hybrid rubbish which Volkswagen have said they are reluctant to build, claiming their TDI diesel engines are just as efficient yet more reliable, more sustainable and more practical as well as cheaper.
Come to think of it, having two engines to propel one vehicle seems a bit unecological, using more materials, more expensive manufacturing and so on.
This diesel, called "e - diesel" costs as much or less to produce than regular crude diesel, the engine runs quieter and smoother and gives slightly better MPG.
