Thanks for the cheerful words about Global warming. We should have time to adapt unless there is a sudden shift of the icecaps, or a reversal of the electric poles. In exchange I will say if worst comes to worst, that some gas cars can run on 100 % diesel. During gas rationing in the 1970's I added diesel- first 10%, then 20%, then 50%,then finally 100% to the tank of a 1964 Chev 6 cyl van. It wont start on 100%, but it will run smoothly at 55 to 60 mph on a flat road. Slow down for a town or stop sign and it smokes bad. So I added a 30 gallon diesel ( No.1 home heating oil) tank. Switch to gas for starting, towns, and hills that can cause pre-ignition, use diesel on the flat. This is just as a last resort, when your car warranty has expired and you are allowed only 5 gal gas/wk on rationing and have to take your wife to the hospital or have run out of beer. With modern engines you would have to experiment to see what mixture ratio ( if any- hehehe) the engine could handle. Who cares what the EPA thinks. Sig
