what if when you wanted to refuel you went to a drive through mexican place (you could still call em 'gas stations'!) and filled up on beans or whatever, and had something rigged up into the seat that inducted your farts as you ripped them, and converted it into useable energy via compression/detonation or something? sure it would be slow- but while you weren't farting you would be pedaling or something. what if.

Dung as the new diesel. Thailand, which is a major regional production base for automobiles, is encouraging its car manufacturers to adapt car engines so that they can be powered by human excrement
During a two-year expedition to Mars, a crew of six astronauts can generate over six tons of waste. The current protocol is to ship the faeces back to Earth. Nasa, however, are funding research to create a membrane microbial fuel cell that would recycle the excrement to provide drinking water, fertilizer and electricity. A waste of space? Certainly not.
Canada's Toronto zoo is planning to use 1,900 tonnes of dung produced by the zoo animals to generate power for heating and lighting
Interestingly, the use of excrement as energy is not a new phenomenon and is referred to as Biogas. Cow dung as fuel is commonplace in India, it accounts for over 21% of total rural energy and as much as 40% in some states. Huge towering piles of dung are dried and used as fuel for cooking and heating

Pig-power, yet another source of methane.
Or corn-powered, as in flex-fuel vehicles.
All of sudden corn farmers with sizeable Herds O' Pork are looking like the next crop of energy sheiks.
