It _is_ pretty impressive technology. Though the European-ness of it is
really isn't that big of a deal. All the car companies are pan-global

Diesel is still cheaper than jet fuel. Or isn't it?
Jet A1 is a little bit cheaper, but it need oil addition (2 strokes oil is
good but normal oil would be ok) for high pressure pump.

I've been too afraid to go to the pump the past few days :-) At current
prices biodiesel does become cost effective if one could find a suitable
anti-gel agent.
No anti-froze agent needed, just an fuel/water heat exchange and the whole
tank become warmer when the engine is runnig. For pure biodiesel, the car
choice is an exhaust/fuel heat exchange.

I just wait for a new design from daihatsu: a 2 cylinder, 2 strokes
superchared, turbocharged 85HP.
I'm waiting for weight info, the 2 strokes only may achieve same weight
than mogas engine.
