Will cars in the future run on bran muffins?

In the early 1930s Frederick Ziptie did extensive work on a misturnal combustion engine that used bran muffins as fuel. With funding from the French government, he indeed developed the first Muffin Car. It was extremely quiet, and from "muff in", we get the term "muff ler". It's a French twist to the term. WW II brought an end to all development and the project was forgotten until 1948. Ziptie began working on an auto which used Alder Berries from Austria for fuel. When combined with Chronic Acid, the Alder berries produced electricity for an electric car motor. The project wasn't too successful, and was dropped in 1951. But from the electricity of the Alder, we got today's aldernator, which recharges the battery. So. What do ya think? 10 points here?
