[Gasification] Precer Biomass Hybrid Car (Stirling Engine)

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear Tom

Assuming about 38 kw-hr per US Gallon, and gasoline at say $3 per 
gallon, then gasoline cost would be about $.12 per kw-hr.

$.31/kw-hr works out to about $11.78 per US Gallon of gasoline, or about 
$11.78/3.8 =$US3.10 per litre

Are there any places where gasoline is close to $3 per litre? Here in 
Nova Scotia, gasoline is presently about $C1.15 per litre.

Best wishes,

Kevin
