applying a 30-atmosphere pressure and heat of up to 300 degrees Celsius (572 Fahrenheit)

Heating up crude oil smells bad enough, but that refinery sure is going to make Japan a stinkhole.

1.4mL out of a gram

you're off by a factor of 100. It's 1.4 mL from 100 grams.

Japan is certainly "energy poor" but it's not "cow rich" either.

Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)

Scientists in energy-poor Japan said Friday they have found a new source of gasoline — cattle dung.

The thing I am trying to wrap my mind around is this making of gasoline taking more or less energy to make?

I can convert Taco Bell food, a well known sh** substitute, into methane. Filling up my pickup is bit tricky though.

You mean "Wow, gasoline as a side benefit to not having solid waste sitting around!" The biggest benefit to this is the fact that all waste products can be converted into usable materials and not have to be landfilled. (New World Technology has a plant in Carthage, MO doing the same thing currently.)

I calculated a yield of 3.8 gallons per ton. Filling your tank would require processing over 6,300 lbs. of manure.
