Hmmm, it seems like a great cruising/constant load fuel and your blower idea seems to be in the right direction. I wonder if you could create a hybrid system that uses some gasoline when you need power for acceleration, but once at speed you'd utilize exclusively wood gas? Seems that would get around the need for more fuel when you were accelerating, but still benefit with constant load.

Edit: great minds think alike (or fools seldom differ). I was writing this at the same time as bennelson.
