It’s not first algae car. It’s the first car running on mix of 5% algae/95% gasoline fuel blend. Great it’s a progress, but I agree with first post.

Is this not giving more credibility than it deserves, 5% of just about anything will still allow the car to run, but is not necessarily seen as being successful.

Seems to be incredible hype for 5 percent algae biofuel. The car could probably succeed on 5 percent Mazola oil or recycled cooking oil from the McDonald’s deep friers along the way. Does this really prove anything scientifically? It’s just a promotion for the movie and the media are going along for the ride.

At this stage yes, the company is making steps towards creating an alternative green fuel source that can be used without alteration. It might not be 100% green, but it is making steps in the right direction…however, I would agree since if you just saw the vehicle passing on the street and weren’t reading about it here you might make different assumptions about how the vehicle is powered.

So the labeling on the side of the car is false. Can Toyota claim that the Prius is an electric powered vehicle because some of it’s power comes from a battery? Can I slap a green label on the side of my home because I recycle 5% of my garbage?
