No. You cannot put lemonade in your fuel tank.
You can stop reading this article now.
Or, you could watch this video, and find out how Toyota is striving to create a greener future where we make our fuel from waste-products.
There are some adorable kids in the video, too.
Just saying.
Here it is.
Okay, now for the science.
There is a way to get hydrogen from water called electrolysis. You run an electric current through water, and it breaks apart the H2O molecules, leaving you with pure oxygen and hydrogen gas.
Water, however, is a terrible conductor of electricity, so you have to add something to it. Something like salt, or an acid.
An acid like, say, lemon juice.
You can then use that hydrogen to fuel a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, like the 2016 Toyota Mirai.
So, you can, in a way, power a car on lemonade, just not the raw lemonade itself.
That about wraps it up for lemonade-fuel. Now you can go impress your friends at trivia night.
Curious to know more? Visit Mark Toyota, and we'll answer your questions as best we can. It's going to be a while before we have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in stock, but you should definitely check out our other environmentally friendly vehicles in our new Toyota inventory.
