Comments on: Virent Energy Producing Gasoline From Raw Plant Material – Update http://gas2.org/2009/02/19/virent-energy-producing-gasoline-from-raw-plant-material-update/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The gas itself packs more energy per unit than gasoline and ethanol, and he also mentioned that the total return is pretty good as well (it takes less gasoline to make the biogasoline, whereas I've read it takes a little more than a gallon of oil to make a gallon of ethanol). I will check with him on this and get back to you. Thanks for the question! ~anthony CNCMike,
