New fuel for GA?

for those interested , here is a link to the Swift patent. It sounds
pretty complicated with 5 different components. One of the components
used to lower the vapour pressure is ethyl acetate, a solvent used in
nail polish , varnish etc.
This fuel is going to have quite an interesting odour. The
percentage of the various components can apparently be varied to
adjust octane rating for both aviation and auto use.

For you cehm wonks, here's the nugget:

"... the present inventors provide a renewable fuel comprised of:
(a) one or more low carbon esters derivable from ethanol;
(b) one or more pentosan derivable furans;
(c) one or more aromatic hydrocarbons derived from acetone or propyne;
(d) one or more C4-C io straight chain alkanes derivable from
polysaccharides; and
(e) one or more bio-oils derived from plant germ."

Soup for the needy AvPlane, I say.
