Chocolate Fuel

Lola is visiting M.I.T. from the University of Warwick in the U.K. as an honored guest at M.I.T.'s energy conference. She's not there as a speaker but as an exhibit. That's because Lola is a specially designed formula 3 car. Her special design allows her to run on the waste from chocolate factories and other plant based oils. This isn't a slow little hybrid putting along either, with a top speed of 135 MPH Lola can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 2.5 seconds. Not bad, I wish I ran that good on chocolate too!
