Nope, you won't make mileage, refueling time, or performance targets to make them acceptable to the public. That said, they should keep trying.

The problem there is they have yet to discover how to do the biofuels, anywhere near efficiently or economically without using corn, cane or some other high sugar plant. High sugar plants are energy intensive to produce and end up being energy storage/transfer systems rather than an energy source.
