The new process converts the sugars to fuel in mere minutes by running a mixture of water and sugar over particles of the precious metals platinum and rhenium.

sounds quite efficient, but still have to have the sugar first.

yes i'm aware platinum is more expensive than gold. they just want to see how well it scales, if it's worth it.

Sounds interesting enough....

My dad used to say never put sugar in gasoline - use shellac, it can't be traced.

ER, did I misread this thread?
