    I'm suprised nobody has mentioned using oil from vegatables to power a vehicle. Granted this might not be a long term solution, if you could get it to be somewhat the same power as running on gasoline it could give us time to develop hydrogen or what ever while not using our oil. Thus lessing our dependancy on the middle east for petroleum products Some Links:
