Why don't we use steam powered car engines so that we can stop global warming?

Passed my driver's test in 1985.
I have owned:
1. Ford Granada - super easy to work on the engine, learned about cars with it.
2. Oldsmobile Cutless Ciera -- super car, V-6, lots of truck driver's tooted their horn when they saw me on the highway in that car! It wore out from old age and I finally sold it, it was like a wonderful friend.
3. Oldsmobile Cutless - bought from Dad and it was not in good shape to start with, ended up having an electrical problem that couldn't be fixed so I traded it in for the car I have now.
4. Buick Regal - nice car but made a mistake buying it, the inside smelled and the chemical smell made me terribly ill so sold it for a loss.
5. Now I own a Chevrolet Impala (2005) -- 6 cylinder, very nice, roomy inside, classy-looking inside, great trunk space.

How do i get rid of gasoline smell on carpet in trrunk of car?

1. Talbot Samba - oh dear.
2. Citroen AX 1,1 Forte - cheap to run and practical, but electrical glitch.
3. VW Polo 1.4 CL - merely average, poor handling, soggy suspension.
4. Ford Ka 1.3 - fantastic handling, poor engine.
5. Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin 2.0 GDI - Superb, quick but high running cost.
6. Toyota Yaris 1.4D - very practical and economical. D-4D engine was great.
7. Suzuki Swift 1.5 - fast enough, loads of kit. Looks good.
