Fiat will unveil a concept car that burns three different types of fuel at the Paris Auto Show which opens on Sept. 30. The Multipla Multi-Eco will run on regular gas, a mixture of gas and ethanol (E85 or 15 percent petrol and 85 percent bio-ethanol), and methane.
The the bio-ethanol and the petrol can be poured into the same tank. The engine software monitors the mixture and changes the injection properties according to the type of fuel.

E85 fuel will reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 40 percent while the methane gas reduces carbon-dioxide emissions to 0.
