This mixture, it is claimed, can cut harmful emissions by 10%.<br>
+<br>One really motivating advancement has been the relocation far from biofuels which compete head on with food consumers thus preventing a price spiral. Not so long ago, a surge in use of biofuels in cars and trucks caused a spike in maize rates as US farmers diverted excessive corn to fuel processing.<br>
