  • @JETZcorp Just yesterday heard a radio interview with the guy behind the film (Josh Tickell?) he said they just recently made a trip across country on a biogasoline hybrid car, 150mpg.

    Personally IMHO bio-ethanol (algae or etc) would be better than biogasoline; better anti-knock rating (~120 vs 87), no carbon fouling, higher performance etc. Albeit only high octane engines can get the most power & efficiency from ethanol.

  • So here's a question. If you can produce everything from an algae-based crude as you can with our current crude oil, why the focus on biodiesel? Why not biogasoline? So far, the market seems to have shown that auto consumers prefer gasoline engines, for whatever reason (quietness, easy-starting, etc.) And, there are far more gasoline-burning cars on the road than diesel, so it seems natural to aim future fuels at the demographic who already own gas cars and don't want to make a switch.
