GP~Not with soy and/or hemp -- both of which can produce a LOT of oil per
  ~acre and with a short growing season/cycle, can produce a lot better
  ~than the same soil for food (and there's no shortage of unused arable
  ~land in the USA and Canada!

I don't think there's enough extra to produce enough crops to
replace fossile fuels though..

GP~[whoops, current high gas prices snipped]

Just as well... I think my math was off a touch...
(Damned metric system...)     B)

I was allowing closer to 5 than 4.54 liters to the Imperial gallon.

GP~Yes, but how often are our prices artificially set by our own
  ~corporate cartels? :P

Can't trust anyone...  I do notice that gas prices go UP when things
get stirred up much quicker than they come down after..    B)
