reminds me of the scene from the simpsons with the alcohol fueled car.

It's actually not running on chocolate per se. It's running on biodiesel that has been extracted from waste from chocolate factories.

...The 2.0-litre BMW engine has been converted to diesel from gasoline and configured to run on fuel derived from waste from chocolate factories or other plant-based oils...

I would rather have a race car powered by tree bark.
