^ Diesel technically is** not that cheaper**, it burns slower which gives you more mileage at cost of less power.
Best thing for Pak is to harness SOLAR ENERGY!
I agree, what I meant to say is that in US diesel is little more expensive then "petrol" while in Pakistan "petrol" is little cheaper than diesel. Solar energy can't drive our cars (in short term), however, I agree that is long-term help in cutting down dependency over fossil fuels. There should be more than one kind of fuels available, no dependency on one fuel.
seems to be quite good, i mean if octane value is the measure then its coming in at 116… for comparison regular (non premium) gas clocks in around 95 or so
Even so, the amount of energy you get out is less than the amount of energy consumed in its creation. therefore it isnt very ‘efficient’.
But that is determined by the pricing, if it is cheaper to “produce” than fossil fuel than it will be used more. Now the problem its causing is farmers replacing wheat/rice or other “edible-item” fields with “corn for ethanol” which probably resulting in “food shortage” globally.

by efficient I mean the energy that goes into producing ethanol is more than the energy released by ethanol upon combustion. this is factoring in the energy utilized in fertilizers, production etc. not just an issue of pricing but how it is produced.
I meant “in Pakistan diesel is cheaper than petrol”.
