I knew wood had been used as a feedstock for gasoline in Poland right after the Nazi invasion. Anyway, once I saw a report on a study claiming that eucalyptus plantations had a lesser environmental impact than sugarcane plantations, so it wouldn't be inaccurate to claim that it would make more sense to make gasoline out of eucalyptus than ethanol from sugarcane like it's done in Brazil...
