Mazda has tested a synthetic fuel in an unmodified MX5 on a 1000-mile road trip
There is no surprise that synthetic fuels work.  They worked for the nazis in the 1940s and they still produce them in South Africa, Qatar and other places.  In fact in a lot of ways they are better than today’s gasolines because they have a low aromatic and olefin content.<p>The question revolve around affordability and sustainability.  Most of the interest was driven by fears we would be running out of oil, now it is driven by fears that we won’t run out of oil.
