Obvio car will run on whatever fuel you've got

All these environmentally-friendly cars of the future we always see require some fancy fuel, be it fuel cells, diesel, ethanol, or whatever fancy crap they've thought up to get you from point A to point B. How can you keep track of that when your garage is full of concept cars? What's to stop you from putting ethanol in where diesel should go and ruining your overpriced investment?

Well, if you get the new Obvio "Tribrid" car you won't have to sweat it. That's because it doesn't really care what kind of fuel you put in it; it'll run on pretty much everything. Any combo of regular gas/bio ethanol, natural gas, or electricity will get you on the road, making it much easier to gas up. It has side-by-side seating for three for some reason and should be available at the end of 2008. Get that ethanol pump ready!
