Rudolf Diesel thought that diesel fuel based on soybean oil was the way to go.

Yeah. Ethanol was favored but gasoline became king since it was much cheaper, and then they figured out putting lead in it greatly improved performance.

Heh. I was put through a loop that NASCAR still uses leaded fuel; converting to a lead free version sometime next year.

Thermal depolymerization. Hey. Would this make soylent fuel a possibility? I can imagine the bumper stickers now; My car runs on people.
