Biofuel

It would cost me $360 (buying from America) for a convertor for my car, and probably $100 to get it installed. It is currently €1.33 for a litre of petrol here, so the change to biofuel would save me a truckload of cash.....I want to do this, but i hear that biofuel has pushed up the price of wheat by 75%, and causing people to starve.

Bio ethanol....good or bad idea ? What is the truth?

my brother in law makes bio-diesel fuel in his garage. He owns 2 vehicles that are compatable with this fuel. the total cost per gallon is 75 cents so if you can make your own setup, its worth it to make the switch.
