Bio-fuels will never be be environmentally sound.

Wait, don't tell me... You are a research professor in bio-technology ?

or maybe you just have a crystal ball and already know all about future technological developments?
If that's the case can I have next Saturday's lotto results please?

Bio fuels dont have to come from arable land.

That's my opinion and one shared by many others.

What are the options then big guy?  There's algae harvesting which is fairly high yielding, with sadly very little interest or investment.  Anything worth a look gets snapped up or shut-down by the big oil companies.  Its all relative as at the end of the day we'll still get fisted for it at the pumps.

7 billion and counting with even more people wanting and becoming reliant on transport.  I read enough to understand the implications of population increase and the demands we're set to place on the earth. 

I just had a quick look in my crystal ball for you:  Forget cars, the safe money is on buying a boat for water world ;)

It's about time this kicked off, mass production style.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

So would you be better off retaining K-jet over Digi 3.2 ?!?

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

mk2 engine is relativly low tech,  as long as the injectors squirt something in that goes bang when ignited by a spark after been squeezed it'll run on it.


This made me chuckle!  Mk2 generally runs on super so all good there. 

But as soon as someone comes up with a cold fusion kit for an 8v, I'm there!
