Zambet Fata is a large country, nobody can deny that, and as such citizens need a hardy car that can drive thousands of miles and not suffer performance. Additionally, those cars need a fuel to make it those thousands of miles.

The Bolt Intrapid was intended to be that car. And for the first 70,000 miles, it was. After that, problems began to arise. At first it was increased fuel- Bioline- consumption. Then it was the values, then the other parts of the engine. Then, the engine failed suddenly.

Consumers and consumer advocacy groups filed five separate class action lawsuits against Bolt for the problem. Bolt, after inspecting new Intrapid's and ones that suffered and are suffering the problem, found the problem. Bioline, a fuel that replaced gasoline and batteries as the main fuel of the world, is the root cause of the problem. But how? How is this fuel that has powered the world for over a decade causing the problem?

Bioline is great. An excellent replacement for conventional gasoline, it's widely credited with the drastic cut in carbon emissions. But Bolt found out the hard way it's not without failure. In extreme temperatures, below 10 °F and above 100 °F, Bioline can gel or solidify. At first it's not bad; but overtime, especially in places like Zambet Fata where extreme temperatures are commonplace, the solidified or gelled Bioline builds up in the engine, choking the engine of fuel, and according to Bolt, "often results in catastrophic failure of the engine."

Bolt, along with Panzerfirma, and the Ministry of Transportation and the Foundation for Research & Science in Zambet Fata have spent years upon years developing a fuel to replace diesel. For those that don't know, diesel is used in trucks, tractors, tanks, some trains, and even some aircraft. Panzerfirma figured out how to make a car that runs on diesel practical, so they have experience in the field. Bolt, on the other hand, went bankrupt trying to salvage the failure of the Intrapid's engine problem and pouring too much money into the project. Several companies came out of this, most notably the Kistler Company, who bought the rights to the Intrapid.

In a press conference, Kurj Bonyfak (CEO of Kistler) announced to the world that the project had finally paid off. "Ladies and gentlemen" he said, "Today, we're proud to announce a replacement to Bioline. Konvoline, or Konvo for short."

Shortly after, the curtain behind Bonyfak lifted, revealing an all new car, called the Kistler Intrepid. A complete design of the old model, it's the first car to run on Konvoline, its already began mass production. Consumers are unsure, but so far it looks like a massive improvement to the old car.

Reaction by car companies world wide was a collective shrug. A new alternative for Bioline? How long will this attempt last? Well, a lot longer than past attempts. Why? Konvoline might not completely replace Bioline, but in tests, it has shown its superiority. On top of this, since Konvoline was developed in part by the Zambet Fatan government, Konvoline has absolutely no copyright attached to it. So, quite literally anybody can use it.

A lot of companies based around distributing and selling Konvoline have formed. Particularly KonvoCo, which has partitioned GASCAR to have Konvoline run at the races as the official fuel.
