Where did you get 100 million gallons a day savings? Thats just over 1/4 of current consumption of 390 million gpd.

Your article said:

"It would save 1.8 billion barrels of oil THROUGH 2016"

1.8B x 42 / 8 years / 365 x 2.25 per gallon gets you $58 million a day i/o $225 million a day.

The above based on numbers from your posts.
