Daryl Hannah stopped downtown Tuesday at the community television studio, bringing with her the 1979 Pontiac Trans Am she drove in 'Kill Bill.' The actress and environmental activist appeared live with local ecologist David Blume on Community TV's live call-in show "Eco-Review" to promote ethanol as an alternative energy source.

Last year, she had the sports car converted to run off 85 percent ethanol, or E85, a move she says refutes concerns from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency about using higher blends of ethanol.

"People just don't know that alcohol fuel is a possibility," said Blume, who'll travel with the actress to the capital this afternoon for a press conference encouraging the EPA to lift the restriction sooner rather than later.

The Live Oak ecologist is a man Hannah calls her environmental "guru." The pair has been working together for more than a decade, and it was Blume who suggested Hannah resurrect the iconic car as a spokes-vehicle for their cause.

3. Well, it is memorable, and it's in one of the top videos of the moment

so it's a natural assumption. I honestly don't recall any of the other cars from Kill Bill.

But I guess we all know what powers the Pu**y Wagon... and it ain't ethanol.
