Ahh, I love the old alternative fuel debates.
Did you know the Germans managed to synthesise artificial diesal and gasoline during WW2 using bacteria?
The problem is it is very expensive to produce gasoline this way, whereas just pumping and refining it is much cheaper. Oil will run out one day though, so we need to push for alternatives to pumping it. Ultimately, gasoline is a very lightweight fuel for all the energy it contains so I still belive it is the future.
Better aerodynamics, engine design, cleaner gasoline and planned roads and cities is where we really should be looking
