I'd like to see how a Honda or Toyota engine stands up to a .50 caliber round or an RPG. Military requirements are based on performance and survivability on the battlefield, not on fuel economy, and that's the way it should be.

Likewise, the emphasis on CTL technology is based on security of the fuel supply, not on environmental efficiency in production. The question in my mind is what is the cost-benefit based on the reduced emissions when the CTL fuel is burned? Is there an overall net benefit as far as CO2 emissions given that the CTL fuel burns much cleaner the fossil based JP-8?

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
