True, but the Swift fuel is supposed to have higher energy density allowing
either a. longer range or, b. the same range with a slightly lower
gallon-count of fuel in the tanks (with, presumably, about the same weight
as with gasoline).

If the stuff works and can pass the hurdles, it might help protect us from
future eco-targeting.

I'm watching to see how it shakes out.
