Is it possible to replace petroleum and gasoline with hemp seed oil completely?

Can we completely depend on hemp seed oil because it seems like we would need far more oil than that.Is it possible to replace petroleum and gasoline with hemp seed oil completely?
Sorry this isn't possible. If hemp seed oil were a viable substitute then some company would make it into fuel. (I believe, but am not sure, that the oil from hemp is less than 60% as efficient at petroleum.) They'd do this not because the company is altruistic, but because they would make an incredible amount of money.





the fact is that oil is a very very efficient source of energy. Until technology improves, or the price of oil increases too much, oil will be our primary source of fuel.
