The decline of fossil fuels - and how that effects car enthusiasts

[EgoFG]

About 100 years ago, there was a segment on a current affairs show that reported on a proprietary method and Australian lab had come up with to blend eucalyptus oil with alcohol in a manner that could burn in an un-altered engine.
Personally I think the industry has gone the wrong way with Electric and hybrid engines, and perhaps in looking to marginalise ICE.
One of these would be a better starting point
1. Hybrid - Should work more like an interurban train, small battery set, engine only drives a generator, all electric drive. - the majority seem to use the petrol engine to drive the car along with electric motors.
2. Full electric - should have something like a methane fuel cell - works like a battery, but it consumes methane (PEMFC), uses a liquid fuel, so preserves current infrastructure.
3. Alcohol ICE fuel substitute for largely unaltered engines (preserves our history)




Imagine pulling up to a fuel station, and choosing alcohol, with or without eucalyptus
