Answer 1

'f**t gas' is just methane, which is a greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide; it would still cause global warming. In fact, methane is 20x as bad as carbon dioxide. The only reason carbon dioxide is a more important greenhouse gas is because  there's much much more carbon dioxide, so it causes global warming more than methane.

In the 90s Volvo had a car that could run on methane, and supposedly got "250 kilometers (or 155 miles) FOR THE WHOLE TANK".

Not for miles per gallon, but miles per tank.

Answer 2

Off course Fox is one of the most populist media and the figures are certainly somehow realistic but need to be put into a larger context.

Answer 3

Hmmm, I am inclined to think that a moose strapped to your car bonnet with pipes leading from various orifices may affect your forward vision. I also am inclined to think that the gain in mileage may be offset by the increased accident rate.
