They are looking at a universal "gasoline" for cars and
aviation. Can be done fairly easily for new engines, but
retrofitting high compression, turbo-charged or other high
demand engines will cost a lot.
The government and private organizations are working on it.


The introduction of alcohol into many/most autofuels is pretty much mucking
up any plan for a universal fuel...

Stupid idea by enviro-wacko, takes more energy to make
alcohol and it is now making tacos more expensive in Mexico,
fueling [pun intended] the Mexican invasion.

Yep, but unfortunately, all that's likely to result in is the US giving the
Mexican Government grants to hold down tortilla prices. Even worse, the
corrupt bureaucracy down there will abscond with the money and tortilla
prices won't come down. ;-)
