Area efficiency: Miles per squaremeter

Food for fuel has consequences. Food prices increase. Food riots in many different countries. Is there enough area to refuel all our cars? Compare the area efficiency!.



 One litre Ethanol has less energy than one litre gasoline. So less MPG per gallon ethanol compared to gasoline. (to the metric version)
