Jabba,no need to be shy about GAMI on this thread. I'd be a bit hesitant about mentioning it on the " USA outlaws carbon tax " thread. You might upset Sprocket Check, Flying Binghi and other members of the Flat Earth Society who seem to frequent that one.
Adding to Ixixly's idea-- Why not CASA? For once they could come up smelling of roses and be applauded not just in Australia but in the whole aviation world for being the first approve G100 UL. I'd bet there are more than a few car rev heads who would also welcome a new unleaded fuel with in excess of 100 octane.
This weeks New Scientist has an interesting article on carbon neutral fuel. Another article that would interest fuelophiles is about new discoveries by Aust. scientists on how photosynthesis might be copied to very cheaply split water into oxygen and hydrogen.
