Driving with juice.

[matthopkins]

I don't think that if cars operated on orange juice instead of gas that money would really be saved since orange juice is like 4.99 for 4L which is like... $1.25/L. That's alot.

no way man. Orange juice is way more efficent. It's like a higher octane or something

[matthopkins]

Is the octane in the pulp then or something?

[lokiian]

No, the orange juice isn't actually gas, it's a comletely different fuel source. I was just using gas as an example.

But yes, in the pulp.

[matthopkins]

Really? What is it then that initiates the motor action, then? Is it the Vitamin C? Also, does brand matter? Like for gas, Petro Canada is pretty much the same as Pioneer... so should I get Tropicana? Or can I settle for PC Organics?

[lokiian]

Of COURSE brand matters! Your car will run for much longer, and better, using an orange juice from concentrate rather than, say a frozen substitute, or a orange drink. And, of course, the more pulp the better.

That's where the octane is you know.

[matthopkins]

I still think that the value of organic product should be researched further... I mean, I have a theory that non-organic juice is clogging up my engine. Like, picture using milk as gas... despite it's high octane, my car would be filling up with fat and mad cow disease. I think non-organic juice may have the same long term effect... am I right?

[lokiian]

Dood... There's no fat in Orange Juice. Mad Cow disease, maybe. Maybe one day research will come up with something that is better on the environment than regular oj, but for now, I don't think PC Organic will get you very far.

[matthopkins]

You're the expert... could I go light speed if I crushed 100 oranges in my gas tank?

[lokiian]

possibly. It's never been attempted, as orange powered cars are still a new technology. I think the power is probably at least that limitless though.

[matthopkins]

So, in theory, we could explore the galaxy on OJ then. Wow, we're such idiots wasting it as a delicious morning beverage when everything we ever need is right before us.

What if this technology gets in the wrong hands though? Could we be looking at worldwide citrus warfare?

[lokiian]

I don't think so. Now, I'm no expert, but I think oranges don't grow all over the world... So, unless the US starts exporting them to their enemies, I think we should be ok. And really, why would they? Their enemies all starting wars and stuff over there. I think the orange power is safe in the hands of George W.

[matthopkins]

There's some people who will do anything for money though. I could see rogue American arms dealers sending the delicious citrus fruit overseas for some coinage. I think the danger also lies in oil dealing countries because if they realized that oranges were able to replace their major export, they may be willing to go to extreme ends to eliminate the use of the fruit.

Are grapefruits or tangeloes as potent or powerful?

[lokiian]

Now you're just getting silly. Grapefruits? One of the most useless fruits with the word "grape" in it of all time.

Grapes being the second most useless, of course

[matthopkins]

I've never actually seen a tangelo though. That's what suggests to me it has secret power to be wielded.

[lokiian]

I've seen tangelos. Didn't you sell them in band? They're really just small oranges. I'm not sure if that makes their orangey power more compact or what. I assure you, tests will be run

[matthopkins]

Yeah, no one ever bought them because they feared them, I think. Or they were never available... one of the two reasons. Is looking at a tangelo like looking at pure love?
