That is what is so frustrating about this misreporting in the Junk Journalism. The kids did NOT build an engine, they rebuilt an EXISTING engine to run on the bio diesel. Then this bio diesel probably takes as much oil to produce as a gallon of gas.

OK, there are no magic silver bullet solutions despite what the Junk Media and Eco freaks keep pushing. This kind of irresponsible pie in the sky promising makes it HARDER to actually get things done to wean us off cheap foreign oil. People keep kidding themselves that we do not have to make any tough decision cause tomorrow the magic wand will be waved and the silver bullet technological fix will appear. It is NOT going to happen. Changeing OFF oil will be a evolutionary, NOT Revolutionary, process

I'd like to see you back that up with actual scientific evidence.

Agreed, 100%.

And the first stage of this evolution is to improve the efficiency of the gasoline/diesel engine. There are limits but if the average oil based engine efficiency were improved by 10% that would translate to 10% plus demand for crude oil.
