Perhaps I should clarify, gasoline in north america costs roughly $2/gallon (~$0.50/L), the consumer generally pays between someplace $3.00 and $4.00 per gallon. The extra costs come in for taxes, profit for the seller, and transportation. These costs shouldn't change for this new biofuel and so the cheapest you should expect to buy it for is $2/gal. Likely the producers will be gouging and an extra $1 will be added for pure profit, perhaps more because of supply and demand so that the 'cheaper' biofuel will cost you more at the pump than buying gasoline
