Using last bit of petrol for power in Biden's car? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lotus
'car?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Plant that mythically induces languor" , "Type of water lily" , "Water-lily; yoga position" , "Tropical water-lily" , "F1 team and car maker" .)
