Yea, I'd have to stay with a diesel. I get at least 2 to 3 mpg more (on the highway runs, much more) than I ever got out of gas burners. The mileage I get out of the engines offsets the extra price at purchase (over a gas burner) in the long run. I do hope this country gets off its butt and develops veggie oil to run these things on. I'd pay a little MORE for fuel to stick it to OPEC. Now with all that being said, if I didn't have to have a big truck for work and play (tools and camper), and just had to get me to work and back, I'd buy another motorcycle and get 30 to 50 mpg.

Yep, and free fertilizer too! The only problem would be the enviro nuts claiming the methane gas is a hazard. They already claim the cattle burps and gas is ruining the atmosphere. The big one I've started to hear about now is the diesel smoke (soot or whatever) is more dangerous than gas fumes. I don't know how that one got started. Some people just need to find something wrong with everything. Run them on sunflower oil and cure the whole problem.
