Technology Benefits.
Currently the Swift Fuels show a reduction in emissions by 15% vs. the current petroleum products. Add to that the extended range and you will see a 25% reduction in emissions from this technology.
Swift Fuels shows a 10-15% increase in mileage in a side by side test against current petroleum products.

Swift Fuels are a non corrosive material vs. petroleum products have oxygenated materials that lead to rust and excessive wear and tear on internal combustion engines.
Swift Fuels do not need stabilizers due to a temperature or time variants in storage, i.e. Swift fuels will be unaffected by extended periods of storage or temperatures vs. petroleum that will gum up engines from extended time in storage or changes in temperature.

The world market will see little impact or cost to their infrastructure thanks to the lack changes required in distribution facilities. The same pumps and tanks can be used for end user sales.
There will be no need for a Flex Fuel Vehicle and, in return, the savings passed on to the end user will positively affect the economy in other industries at $35,000 per un-needed sale.

The increased need of bio material will also increase the need for green space farming and hence reduce the value of taxes. This is due to a cut in tax money paid as subsidies to the farmer for not farming due to the sluggish agriculture markets. Tie this to the need for increased sales of Agriculture equipment as well as more employees for the manufacturing and agriculture industries and the benefits are clear. Farmers will see multiple markets to sell their products to as well as farm waste such as unsuitable staples that do not pass quality assurance levels or staple waste such as corn stock or saw dust.
Swift Fuels means an independence from Oil and from unpopular foreign policy.
Swift Fuels mean more jobs due to the fact that we will need to maintain our own fuel production vs. having Central and South America doing it for us.
Swift Fuels mean a greener future with far less pollution.
Current Global Petroleum Outlook
Oil Reserves, both known and speculated by federal and academic studies point to the year 2040 as the end of all oil production.
While the possibility of short term shortages of refined gasoline or diesel product exists, depending on domestic refining capacity relative to domestic petroleum demand, there is not a strong basis to anticipate sustained global shortages of crude oil in the next 25 year (or more) time frame.
America gains little, in terms of its current-account balance, even from the imports that oil exporters do buy. It now accounts for only 8% of OPEC countries' total imports; the European Union has 32%. So even if the exporters spent all their extra revenue, America's current-account deficit would increase as oil prices rise. This partly explains why in recent years the European Union's trade balance with the oil exporters has barely changed even as America's deficit has grown sharply.
It is significant that the preponderant fraction (51.1%) of crude oil and refined oil products imported into the U.S. derives from the (remainder) of the American continent (South and Central America, Mexico, and Canada). West and North Africa come second with a total of 19.1% of U.S. oil imports, and the Middle East, while it is the world’s major oil supplier to be sure, it is third in importance as a U.S. supplier, accounting for 18% of U.S. oil imports.
These data indicate that under the assumption that U.S. and non-Middle-Eastern production could be held (approximately) constant, it would suffice to decrease U.S. fossil-fuel consumption by 12%, at present, for the U.S. to be in a position to wean itself free from Middle East oil, in the short term, should the need arise. As discussed earlier, however, the world fungibles of oil through the world oil Supply markets would respond to this decrease by adjusting the supply-demand balance. Such a goal might be achieved without deleterious effects to the U.S. economy by any of a number of means in combination. This would produce, at least temporarily, a world-wide excess production capacity and a decrease in oil prices, improving both the national economy and the national defense posture.
World and US DemandRegarding oil prices, it’s worth noting that they are not at historically high levels when adjusted for inflation. As the chart on this page indicates, prices around the 1980 time period peaked at $36/bbl in then-year money, corresponding to FY05 $85/bbl. The rapid decrease in pricing following that peak and the data depicted in the figures on page 6 can only induce a conservative stance in the oil industry, discouraging investments that require that the present high prices must be sustained to be justified. Finally, adding to the general caveat of a foggy future, vis-à-vis instability in the Middle East, consequences on world production from inefficiencies and damage from the rise of (most) national oil companies, and the consequences of poor governance and hostility towards the U.S. in many of the world’s oil-producing nations, strongly argue for conservation.

guys, down under we're paying $1.70 per litre AUD for diesel and $1.50 per litre for unleaded. our imperial gallon is 4.5 litres. thats $ 6.75 AUD per imperial gallon or $ 5.06 AUD per US gallon or $ 5.38 a gallon.
