Hmmm... wholesale maltodextrin is under $1k per ton... but repackaged, food-grade is at $1 per kilogram.

If that's the same energy density as fuel, it would cost about the same as gasoline in terms of weight. Probably a lot less, since it doesn't have to be food-grade... then factor in the price of the container...

Just might work.

Might.

Looking at it, the energy density might not mean gasoline equivalence... Oh well...
