Audi Makes a Bet on Gas Made From Sugar | Autopia | Wired.com

"Audi is expanding its biofuel initiative with an investment in Global Bioenergies, a French company that can make synthetic gasoline from sugar, and do it both faster and cheaper than other biofuels. And most importantly, the fuel, called bio-isooctane, doesn’t require any modifications to the cars it powers, making it a drop-in replacement for gasoline refined from petroleum."
