Right, but if we use oilseeds as a biodiesel feedstock (and diesel engines) we have better efficiency in both the production and the use.

Agreed, but does it not still result in lower miles per acre farmed and lowers the impact on gasoline imports? I think the gallons per acres are so much lower to offset the difference.

I could be convinced to swap my 400 horse, 350 Chevy for a similar V-8 biodiesel. But I think these guys jest when they think Americanos are going for V-6s in SUVs.
