We could also use biodiesel produced with ethanol which is more performant than gas and allows maybe 35-50% (or more?) more mileage Edit: mileage

  The average distance driven is only 40 miles a day. What is the concern about having a vehicle capacity of 235 miles as opposed to 400? If greater distance capacity is needed, biodiesel alone is an valid option. Mixing fuels just seems silly to me.

    How do you mean mixing fuels being silly? I’m no expert but it seems quite common - hybrid vehicles for example; biodiesel with petrol diesel (and other things like motor oil); and not sure about gasoline but it seems to commonly be mixed with other things like ethanol.

      Silly in that it is not necessary. Any ICE vehicle can be converted inexpensively to burn pure ethanol, no petrol required. Any diesel will accept biodiesel as fuel without mixing with petrol. If fossil fuels are a problem, and ethanol and biodiesel covers all petrol applications, why bother keeping petrol around?

        > Any ICE vehicle can be converted inexpensively to burn pure ethanol I can’t imagine where you got that idea.

          I got that idea from the fact that an ethanol conversion kit costs about 300 bucks and installs in 15 minutes.
