Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi,
This year, I decided on a general topic on biofuel efficiency. I'm planning on making my own biofuel, out of algae, and comparing that to diesel. My question is, how will I be able to test their efficiency? I read online that there are pH and visual tests to confirm that I actually made a biofuel, but how can I compare the the two? Besides putting it in a car.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
