Bio-diesel would be far more intelligent. Then we could replace 100% of the petrochemical content in gasoline.

As one who has worked in the bio fuels realm, bio diesel has a lot of promise but is not supported by the engine manufacturers. Ethanol is pretty established, and will run in dang near anything. Where I used to work, we had guys running straight 200 proof on lawn mowers, tractors, and one guy using it on a sprint car.

Funny thing is, most ethanol plants are more for making cattle feed than the fuel grade ethanol. Cattle producers have figured out that a ration of distillers grains improves yield and makes leaner cows than if the straight corn was used. Distillers grains has more protein and less carbs, and doesn't upset the cows stomach as much.
