[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 818615, member: 199791"] Just watched a piece on the BBC website on this, and it's interesting for sure... _http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20003704 Using Methanol (alcohol basically, so could come from leftovers from brewing beer) and something called DME (DiMethyl Ether, which in itself can be used in Diesel engines), they can make this stuff which is a man-made petrol replacement, pretty smart... :) In the past though I have seen that it is possible to refine Biodiesel into something that can be used as a petrol replacement too, but it's disappeared as far as I'm aware, anything that sticks the middle finger up to the big oil giants always does, so we shall see whether or not this makes it or is buried in the doldrums of the oil co's alternative fuel idea buyouts...
