Hi, Pennypicker.

No I think it runs on plain old gas or petrol.ol

Maybe the poster thinks our modern alchemists can squeeze some of the juice out of millenia old mummies like they are doing with other waste. :-)

"Drop-in fuels" are all the rage these days. There are sizable projects to convert various organic [no, not the preposterous, mislabeled organic foods] substances to fuel that would replace petroleum in modern internal combustion engines with little or no modification. Algae has long gotten the most promotion but I have wondered what is holding back butanol.

Best, Terry
