Re:why not a diesel economy? (Score 1)

I had to spoil the glee felt by all the bio-diesel. Wow! Grow you fuel!! It must be good if you grow it!1 Of course, GMO crops would be unacceptable, cuz, ya know, it wouldn't be good fuelk if it was altered right?? Only organic for my VW I say!!!! Seriously, has anyone considered the amount of raw crop needed to fuel the cars in North America?? I did a rough calculation of this, based on avg yields, and the standard oil yields from that. While I will not post the results *they were rough*, but the data is available to do your own. To have any impact, biodiesel has to be in a majority of vehicles, and chances are, with the amount of tweaking needed on a standard engine, the same efficiency gains with standard diesel could be had. However, with the nimber of fast assed lazy people out there..maybe sacrificing food for fuels would be a good thing.
