I bring this up because I find myself wondering what kind of mileage a small car would get? Imagine being able to run biodiesel in your Honda for $1 a gallon!
Biodiesel is still a hyrdocarbon fuel. All biofuels are. You're putting out less emissions, but you're still putting them out there. Just delaying the inevitable. Hydrogen will be the future of convenient energy. I think the future will be a combination of nuclear, renewable energy and hydrogen. Hydrogen needs to be produced using renewable energy, or it's pointless.
