And it's only a temp fuel... it isn't going to solve anything. I give it 5, maybe 8 years.
It costs more to make and transport, than what it sells for. People make it becouse the feds are paying them to make it.
Add up the costs of the conversion parts, the reduction in MPG, and then figure the *curerent* price per gallon.
With that last one being a HUGE variable, it's hard to say exactly how long it'll take to pay it's self off.... but it wouldn't be any time soon.
