One thing people forget: you can take waste oil from restaurants,
process it and load it onto urban transit buses. (Montréal does that).

Basically, the oil used to fry your french fries could end up running a
bus later on.

So the amount of land used to grow stuff is not 100% dedicated to
running vehicles as the vegetables have multiple uses.

Ethanol is slightly different as corn production switches from food to
fuel, and this would raise prices for corn as feed for cattle and feed
for humans. But considering the overproduction of many commodities such
as cotton which are highly subsidized, moving that land to corn
production would indrease supply and reduce the need to subsidize cotton
producers.
