.. of the episode of Top Gear (BBC car programme) that featured an inventor that had made it possible for diesel-driven cars to run off frying oil from restaurants. As the host mentioned, the only negative effect it has, was that the exhaust would smell like a kebab-shop.

Also, Top Gear demonstrated an Audi (I think) that was able to drive a staggering 1100 miles ON A SINGLE TANK OF FUEL! The host walked away looking quite shocked. He drove the last 20-odd miles with the empty fuel tank warning on - which prompted him to make the remark to tell Audi's engineers that they've apparently come up with an engine that runds on air.
