Look at Bio-Diesel, and you might even start waving the flag. It's renewable. It's growable by American farmers. The refining process (as with Dino) is far less energy intensive than refining gasoline. It burns clean, and smells good.


I don't think this is very viable either cause no one especially in this administration wants to get rid of our dependance on oil. There is too much money involved in it. Other racing series use methonal thats, if im not mistake, made from corn but you don't see it in the local 76 do you? Hybrids are rare cause they haven't been massed produced for very long. Diesels have been around a lot longer.The US is 5% of the worlds population and uses 25% of the world energy. Its a wasteful lifestyle suv's show this, everyone wants one, hardly anyone needs them. That last part is just my personal view.
