Wood gasification, people will be driving it'll just look like the Beverly hillbillies come to town rather than madmax.

And yes you can run a car on poop.

Maybe a handful could cobble together a steam powered vehicle like they made during the early days of cars, and drive around at relatively low speed on anything that will burn?

We've been watching the Last Man On Earth and my family is getting sick of me pointing that out.

That show went downhill for me really fast.

Ya. Watching last night I was thinking about how funny the first season was.

That's not entirely true. I've fired up my bike with two year old gasoline in the tank, and larger quantities will last longer than the 3l that was left in my tank.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes, there are some variables, and if you had old gasoline, adding fresh on top is 100％ the right hing to do. It dilutes it into the new, more combustable fuel

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're right about diluting it, but I didn't. I just fired it up with old gas.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Ive got a 5L gerry can in the shed from a year ago, I'm thinking I'll just fuck it into my gas tank now nect time before I top up
