Well, if you can average 50 bushels per acre and you get 5 gallons per acre I get 250 gallons per acre. A million acres and now we're 250MM gallons of fuel.
How many gallons of fuel do you get out of a barrel of oil, anyone?
40 gallons of fuel from a barrel of oil
40 gallons of fuel from a barrel of oil
see 19 for my math using one million acres. If you only have supply for 29 thousand cars per year, then you supply cannot meet demand, hence a rise in prices. if this stuff is so wonderful, then folks will demand it and the price will increase further until it stabilizes at just below oil based fuel.
this is because the main advantage if cost, and with short supplies, the price will rise as far as the market and settle at a level where people will still see an advantage from alternatives - just below normal prices.
The whole barrel if you burn it in a bunker.
