Compression isn't required to takeadvantage in terms of static compression as you can acheive alot of the same result with timing increase. At some point your ignition couldn't keep up on a stock car but it is unlikely you would go even nearly that far.

The world can't produce enough using current methods is correct. I don't much care about the world production (I don't want it to completely replace gasoline)and america can produce more then enough to meet a decent amount of our requirement which would pour hundreds of millions of dollars into our ecomony and also create new jobs here in this country.
if we can get the cellulose based/switchgrass based solution figured we'll get more out than required to put in to create it, and it won't have an affect on the amount of corn being produced for fuel vs. consumption.. i'm looking forward to it and wish I had the funds to design a "conversion kit"....
