I suppose the good news is that this fuel didn't take anything from the national food supply. Still seems a bit pricey.One of the companies that got a lucrative biofuel contract from the military was the San Francisco–based Solazyme Inc. According to the Congressional Research Service, in 2009, Solazyme got a $223,000 contract for 1,500 gallons of algae-based motor fuel. That works out to $149 per gallon.

I guess with $300 dollar hammers we shouldn't be surprised! :(

And I filled my truck up an hour ago for $1.519. That is roughly a thousand percent mark up. Whoever came up with this deal needs to be fired.
That, my friend is why we have elections. Here's your chance.
