I dunno if it's the same, but I remember watching something on a bacteria that excretes a form of biodiesel.

Yeah, Wild stuff! That story here:Biofuel from Bacteria: Scientific American

And this craziness makes hydrogen: Novel alloy could produce hydrogen fuel from sunlight

But the butanol, is that a fuel that could be used in our engines?

I get the Wednesday and Sundays paper. Clip out coupons, save more then the cost of paper delivery.

I wonder if a car that ran on newspaper would also run on junkmail. If so...WOOT!!!!

Makes me think of the food recycling device that the Doc Brown had installed on his Delorean in the movie Back to the Future.
Also brings the thought of gasification of newspaper as a fuel source.
