I stopped to fill the motorcycle with 90 octane ethanol free the other day, $3.79 a gallon. It's a good thing it get 35+ mpg.
Algae can be used to make fuel, trouble is the process currently costs over 6 times the cost per a gallon (some processes over $30 gal). Does not make sense at today's prices although the price might come down if it was ever implemented on a large scale.

Geez....Here in Calgary low test is 1.25/Litre or 3.69/USGal
Next province west in Vancouver it's 1.56/Litre or 4.61/USGal
Already we are seeing news reports of people complaining that thieves have drilled holes in their fuel tanks and drained them dry. Next thing we'll need a "concealed care permit" for battery operated drills or maybe special permits to own or buy drill bits greater than 1/4" in diameter.
Got to love this millennial world we live in.
Sometimes questions are rhetorical.
But I will add that I'm much more impressed with this tech than:
...or any of the other crap that billions of dollars have been poured into in the pursit of ever-fattening asses.

Not just gas my friend. Shouldn't worry, Mr. T just gave you a tax break. Click the link below.I stopped to fill the motorcycle with 90 octane ethanol free the other day, $3.79 a gallon. It's a good thing it get 35+ mpg.
No worries we can trust our tree hugging politicians to level the playing field with a carbon tax on the conventional fuel.I think it should be possible to redesign a diesel engine to get it to run on 100 percent biodiesel, but given that the fuel is more expensive to begin with, there is not much incentive to do so at this time.
That's what our elected officials like to do make the situation worse and then come up with "progressive" solution.But yet we continue to subsidize the oil industry.....
