So GM has a history …
So GM has a history of having stopped the electric car before, but build Jay Leno a car that runs on BioDiesel? Does anyone else find that strange?

Imagine the waste …
Imagine the waste products, noxious fumes, and emissions that were created producing the carbon fiber body, high grade turbine embly, and the tooling needed to produce this one off car. It’s a zero sum gain. Sure it burns biodiesel, but it will never be driven enough to offset the production inputs to realize a net emissions savings. Besides, this car is not the hottest biodiesel capable car around, the Audi R10 race car could easily be adapted to street and biodiesel use.
