Hmm. I've heard rumors that this had been done back in the 80's, but the car companies sat on the research with claims it didn't work. Maybe it didn't. In any case, good news!
I've suspected ever since Bush got into office that oil is on the way out, and the oil barons know it, so this huge leap in prices is their last gasp fortune before they all switch over the whatever we're going to be using in the future - water, electricity, etc. - and find a way to charge us horrendously for that.
