I just watched a program on the subject of alternative fuel the other day. One car had a high performance propane engine, put out tons of HP and was very clean. Another car was an Indy car made to run on E85, and another one was a hydrogen powered car. Only emissions on it was warm water trickling out of the tailpipe. That one drove like a typical 4 or 6 cylinder car they claimed.

I don't think your question is too far from becoming a reality. I bet 10 years from now there will be DRASTIC changes in what we put under our hoods, or even if we can put anything different under there at all. I hate to be a sky is falling guy, but I think the handwriting is on the wall that the gas guzzling days are coming to an end.

3 kinds of people

Ther are three kinds of people,the ones who watch things happen,the ones who make things happen and the ones who say what happened. The what happened kind are most people.Sometimes refered to as Sheeple.Did you mean - if we run out of oil because its all used up.or the supply is disrupted by some kind of an event ? The make things happen people will be prepared either way.Much more could be said about this subject but I find most people would rather ignore it. And thats ok too.LFE

Wow, that's pretty impressive. I just hope some big oil company doesn't buy out his patent and push it under the rug.

Switch to a diesel and run corn oil

 

[roddguy]

Before you go pushing products like corn oil or methanol you should do the reseach and see what current levels of production are doing to the availability of the food we eat. grains and corn are being realocated to the fuel industry. You will soon be feeling the pinch on the cost and availability of food. Personally I'd rather be able to eat it than burn it. Just my 2cents.

First let me exsplain why i ask yall that question in the first place .
This fuel crises has really been bothering me on a personal level .
I have eat sleep and live to be creative in my life.
cars and bikes are an ''art'' outlet for me and i beleive thats true for most roders .I have devoted my whole life to build customiz's,cars bikes bycles,modelcars ,my house even has a custom fill to it for me.
What i really want to know is what would you guys do if you could'nt drive your rods anymore ?
I think we[rodders] all are kinda like artist ,so i believe most will still build some thing cool even if we cant build and drive rods !
I know about alternative fuels ,believe me ,thats all i think about any more and i think hydrogen is a way we as hot roders will go eventually .
To me to not be able to build rods would be a life changing event , it completes me.
Don't get me wrong ,i dont think its posible to kill out rodding altogether[I believe the average rodder is the probably the best problem solver their is .]
But i do beleive some very big changes are gonna happin sooner than most people beleive it will?

i think hot-rodders will switch over to alternative fuels and start finding ways to transplant these into their old time rods. I think america will always have cars in one form or another. I also think gasoline will be available as long as i'm alive at least (the next 60-80 years if i get to live that long ). Everyone says "In the next so so many years things are going to change and there won't be any of these gas cars...". I seriously disagree with this. Why? Alternative fuels are being developed that will replace gasoline, americans generally like to buy new cars and not work on old ones so they will be buying these cars. Chances are gas will go way up before things get really switched over, I'm guessing a peak of $10-15 per gallon. However, people will switch over and stop buying gas......then prices will go down and may always hover at $5-6 per gallon because a whole lot wont be sold. There will be so few gas cars on the road that people won't feel the need to completly eliminate them. They will be nostalgic and america is a country that loves it's past (hopefully that dosn't change but who knows).

So anyways, I didn't miss your point chopper. I would probably build rc cars and yard art or other contraptions. They have rc cars that can 80mph on their little electric motors, pretty cool if you ask me.
