They get 120 to 132 miles per gallon on diesel fuel and if I can produce my own bio-diesel from algae I would almost be riding for free.

It wouldn’t have to be some big cruiser. I would just need a 450cc to 850cc size bike for around town, probably a dual sport or motard style bike.

Can Biofuel be made from yard and forest debris?

Instead of corn and soybean oil, we can use yard and forest debris. I have been driving through the Oregon highways and found tree debris as well as trees. We can allow cut down the trees and have them (or the Oregon State nonviolent prision population) clean up the debris so that the company can produce biofuel. Grass can be included. Why pay $116 per barrel of oil and increase our food prices because corn and soybean being diverted to make biofuel where we can use plant debris.

Biofuels may fuel most planes within 10 years
Within a decade, passenger planes will be flying on jet fuel largely made from plants — flax, marsh grass, even food waste — as airlines seek to break away from the volatile oil market and do their part to fight climate change, the Associated Press reports.

In the coming days and weeks, THH, Inc. will introduce the long-awaited breakthrough California, America, and the world have all been waiting for. Our looklocaltm solution will make petroleum replacement practical and achievable in as little as 10 years. The “looklocaltm Get The Lead Out” campaign will begin with an innovative biofuel flight. Starting from the Pacific Ocean, Len Johnson, our President and CEO, will fly a plane he personally built burning a biofuel to the Wright brothers monument at historic First Flight Airport in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It is appropriate that we publicize this fuel by replacing 100 octane Low Lead (100LL) with a green, unleaded alternative. Biobutanol has potentially broad application- it can be blended with or replace virtually any motor fuel, whether gasoline or diesel. Len has already solved biodiesel infrastructure hurdles with an invention that provides the capability of producing enormous quantities of vegetable oil, fresh water and salt while replacing jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, and green petrochemical feedstocks by developing local resources within the United States and other countries. This will greatly diminish the influences of the world fuel economy politically, economically, socially, and environmentally while retaining the wealth and jobs our national economy has been sending overseas. Len is now turning his attention to developing an infrastructure solution to replace gasoline with a practical, green
