Future Power Ltd to unveil 300 BHP LPG-powered Subaru

H/T to the guys over at AutoBlogGreen, reporting that Future Power Ltd., a British company, is offering an LPG (liquid propane gas) conversion kit. They will be showing it off in a 300 BHP Subaru WRX, with the ability to plug in your laptop, and tune for economy or performance.

I'm a big believer in our right to drive powerful cars. I'm also a big believer in the idea that while we might very likely have plenty of oil available to us for the foreseeable future, we are also definitely burning it faster than the earth makes it. Finally, I truly enjoy and appreciate automotive innovation. That's why you'll read about alternative fuels here, but without all of the political and preachy backwash that normally comes with it. I think that with all of the research being done around getting powerful engines to run on something that we can make faster than we burn it, sooner or later something's going to come along that lets us drive like we do today, and not have to worry about running out of gas for good... and that's cool.
