Best way to go green with that pesky v10

[Twistee 453]

With the coming apocalypse I think as a responsible v10 owner I should be applying for some green car rebates to invest into making the M5 more "green".

You would have to burn through some huge distances to get any return on investment for your blown swamp gas conversion, but Jacinda would be happy so that's a win.......

Just run on e85, i used to claim my c63 used 2.5 litre per hundred of petrol… and conveniently left off the 14l per hundred of ethanol. 
Cant get it from gull anymore but can buy in drums.

I don't know that I could bring myself to buy that kit with such an eye watering price, let alone hack up the wagon and orange would just clash in the engine bay.

I had my Audi S8 D2 (4.2l V8, like the one in Ronin) converted to LPG. Retained the petrol tank so had both but the LPG gave way less range (like <200km or something). Mostly worked fine though at the time people said the V10's and the like would be terrible conversions as LPG is a "dry" fuel and causes all sorts of problems in high HP/high RPM applications.

I also converted my Audi Allroad 2.7 Twin Turbo to run e85 with big injectors and fuel pump. It was greaty improved by the conversion though the range also sucked. Sadly e85 died out though.. industry just needed the algae conversion method perfected to get away from the food stock crisis concern..
