OriginOil analysis suggests production cost as low as $2.28/gallon for algae-derived renewable gasoline or diesel using feedstock blending

Green Car Congress

points to a potential production cost as low as $2.28/gallon Liter) for gasoline or diesel using a blend of algae and waste feedstocks, using the latest growth, harvesting and fuel conversion technologies from OriginOil and other innovators. This cost roughly doubles to $5.44/gallon gallon ($0.60/Liter) gallon ($1.44/Liter)

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. The impetus for this change came from a study by the US Idaho National Lab [ 2 ]. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. For an extended discussion see Appendix C).
