Convert your tractor to run on wood-fire-gas like was done during WWII in many places. You can do it with a car also, as long as it has a low compression engine and a carb.
If more people started using alcohol or vegetable oil - where would it come from? If mass produced, it will come from agriculture that will use petro oil to run the tractors, make the herbicides and fertilizers, and deliver the products. In the end, it would be a more inefficient use of the oil (as ethanol is already).
The reality is there are many things with a finite supply that society keeps using more and more of. I keep hearing about cars and trucks - but what about frivolous air travel? That industry wastes an amazing amount of oil and sends pollutants directly into our upper atmosphere.
On the subject of "finite supply" . . . what about our economy? I keep hearing it has to grow X amount every year or we're doomed. Hmmm. Last I checked the world has a fixed sized and no economy can grow forever. Seems if we were truly smart we'd try to come up with plan of sustainability - not constant growth and a constantly growing demand for everything.
