Remember the 1981 George C. Scott Movie: The Formulia?
Also with Marlon Brando. It was about a Secret held by the Oil Companies from the end of the War. Germany had Developed Synthetic Gasoline. I had read that Germany really had Developed Synthetic Oil, but not Gas! Has anyone ever done so? I do not mean that ECO 83 Octane Crap, that has destroyed several Folks Engines here in Florida. Paul

Interesting, will have to look into this. Lots of folks have been trying to find a cheap gas replacement but most often they end up spending more than they would on gas. Another old tale is the guy who drove across the USA on a tank of gas, he had developed some fantastic carburetor that gave insane mileage and the oil cos bought him out.
On a like note, Smokey Yunik, of stock care racing fame, used a turbocharger to not pressurize but to homogenize gasoline with very high heat, making the fuel/air mixture a true gas and not air mixed with droplets of fuel as are in every other method. You could run insanely lean mixtures without detonation because the mix was perfect. GM bought the patents.
"And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
