Yeah. Most of the automotive energy issues are with simply storing and carrying the energy. Be itgasoline, diesel, LPG, batteries, hydrogren fuel cells, etc... A liquid is simply the fastest to refill, has a higher energy density, easy to transport, etc... Fabricating the complex hydrocarbons in this way is hugely advantageous.
Especially if it is more efficient (I expect because there is less contaminates, more pure?), and less poluting. Granted, it's still diesel, but that isn't a bad thing.
