I can't help but put my two cents in...

IMHO, I prefer the food usage scenario, even if less efficient than gasoline, for two reasons:

1) I can raise my own food, and so be independent of Big Oil. And no, I don't currently raise my own food... but I could...

2) Food is much more likely to be around 100 years from now, whereas I find it unlikely that gasoline will be.

Thanks!
