Get an old petrol car, convert it to run on propane. Now you're burning stuff that gets flared off as waste gas from making plastics and fertilisers, and emitting only carbon dioxide and water. No carbon monoxide, no sulphur oxides, no nitrogen oxides, no unburnt HC, no particulates. You're still emitting greenhouse gases, but you're extracting useful work from them instead of just warming up the atmosphere.
The reason why they run warehouse forklifts on propane is because you don't die if you breathe the fumes.
The only downside is you need to find somewhere to put the tank, and that usually means giving up your spare wheel well. There's no good reason why you couldn't fit a tiny little petrol tank and use some of the old tank's space for LPG though.
