Bio fuel can be made several different ways of which you do not need to grow anything. Old cooking oil, discarded vegetation and even garbage.

Old Cooking Oil?
Like in Peanut,or some others?
Now if they'd let you grow Hemp,that would go a long way!
Grows almost everywhere.

But I think there just isn't enough space to grow Plants for Automotive Bio-Fuel!

Besides,Old Cooking-Oil is either Sunflowerseed,Cottonseed,or similar Vegetation!


I agree with the hemp statement, before the oil moguls helped make it illegal it, Hemp was Americas biggest export. I remember reading something somewhere that it can be used as a fuel in a diesel engine, I was doing some late night weird googling so cant remember the source :(

Like the others have said, we really cant afford another war, we just finished Libya & Iraq, and we are still in Afghan. Another one would bankrupt all western economies.

And $5 a gallon, its still better than ours over here. Can you mail order fuel? :) Is it super taxed like us over here? We pay 80% tax on fuel in the UK. For every £10 we spend on fuel, £2 is for the petrol, £8 is for the tax man, it sux to be British right now. :(
Bring back Maggie!
actually it was Hearst/DuPont/Mellon,but that might be an Urban Legend!
Though Hearst did some extensive Journalism against Hemp.

It will still be an excuse for the British Government to increase the price at pumps as well though I fear.
When Hague announced the import embargo of Iranian oil, diesel hit its all time high of £1.49 a litre (Approx $2.36 a litre)

Although to be fair, Iran has said that it will stop supplying the EU now rather than the June deadline the EU imposed.

I dont think we should be worrying about Israel attacking Iran, I think it would be a coalition move from Nato, led by Team America and France.
Just like what they did in Libya. Personally I think Gaddafi was misunderstood, he did a lot of good for his people, he might have been a bit loon, but at least he wasn't afraid to stand up to the bigger nations. Any leader that gives free electric and new couples 50K for a house when they get married has my vote! David Cameron if you ever read this, take note.

I have a suspicion that this time next year, fuel will be £2 a litre.

Roll on biofuels!

How much is fuel per gallon in the US? Here in UK it is - £5.36 a gallon which is about - $8.90.


Here where I'm at its about $3.40 a gallon but the gas moguls are gonna jack it up to between $4.00-$5.00 a gallon for summer. Hopefully people will stay home and not travel anywhere and make them lower it.


yup last time they did that to regular & diesel - the travel & transportation industries threw their weight around and it came back down - nobody went anywhere - you're exactly right

that's why I don't think that's gonna happen - everyone from hotels to restaurants - airlines to the teamsters will be biotching...
