Yeah!! I Just read about this today!!
It's a crazy thought...but supposedly, it's much more energy efficient than Ethanol, because:
1: You use less "syngas" (the vaporized plant-matter) to make the a gallon of gas, than Ethanol. And
2: Gasoline has a higher energy yeild then Ethanol, as we all know.
The greenies aren't gonna like this because gasoline is equated to evil
...but this is exciting news!!!
