Re: [alfa] Biodiesel, you're kidding right?

Very true.  Such a system would be more than the sum of its parts, 
too, since diesels like to be run at WOT even more than 
spark-ignition engines (from an efficiency point of view), and the 
hybrid setup allows the IC engine to spend most of its time at WOT or 
not running at all.
