Many works consider that obtaining ethanol from acetate would be excessively onerous due to the cost of separating acetate present in wastewaters. In fact, the chitosan production industry annually wastes large amounts of acetate through this process. Acetate represents about 29% of the molecular mass of chitin.

Lifetime service costs are lower for a vehicle that is mainly electric. At $3 for a gallon of gas, driving a non-hybrid car costs 8-20 cents/mile (depending on MPG).

The costs and benefits of cars extend far beyond an individual driver to society as a whole. Studies estimate utilities might compensate car owners with $2,000-3,000 a year to "borrow" their storage capacity -- thereby helping to offset the incremental costs of plug-in hybrids. By then, theyll probably cost well under $1,000.
