Thanks for this info as it brought me a big relieve that the Japanese are now thinking of Ethanol and Biodiesel! For the past three years that we have tried to launch biofuel program in Thailand where most cars&motorcycles are Japanese-made, those who have always come up with NEGATIVE views of biofuel are Japanese motor companies as well as some engineering associations. They would raise all sort of reasons such as emissions, material compatability, ozone formation, price etc etc. that seems endless. Now that their motherland is thinking about it, I surely hope that the critics will look at the issue under a different light. Perhaps, all other smaller countries can develop their biofuel programs and therefore, one day, they can hope to climb out of the poverty trap and the dependency on foreign aid packages! Samai
