Well, if we actually made it here on mainland like a "fuel" instead of a hobby, it would cost less than regular diesel.

Thing is, in the tropics, they can grow oil palms that have a yield of 500gal/acre of veggie oil, here in the states, rapeseed is the closest at this point at 100gals/acre (soy is only 60gals/acre, but there are a LOT of growers, so that's the principle base oil for most "commercial" BD here).

If we actually wanted to make BD a viable fuel, algae is reportedly the king of oil/acre, but I don't have a number to throw out for that.

Anyway, that's actually good news, it's FAR less polluting, doesn't stink, vehicles run better on it, yada, yada.
