E-Fuel Corporation claim that ”this will be the first product that allows anyone to reduce their dependency on oil, greatly diminish their carbon footprint and produce fuel for under $1.00 per gallon”

If you own your own bar, you might even save a buck or two by refining discarded alcohol to create dirt cheap ethanol for as little as $0.10 per gallon.

Her job at the luxury focused store will entail looking after wealthy customers who book shopping trips in advance. The industrious Princess is gaining the work experience as part of her gap year before going to university.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife have reportedly spent $4.7m (£2.4m) purchasing 25 acres of land situated on a Santa Barbara ranch.

The off plan site will entitle the Schwarzenegger’s to build a fabulous 8,500 sq ft home. However, the purchase is apparently subject to 99 pages of guidelines which determine the architectural style of the home and the type of plants that can be incorporated into the landscaping.

Even so, I don’t think Mr Schwarzenegger will be terminating the purchase!
