I wonder, you know how crude oil is basically made of millions of years old dinosaurs?
If we could analyse it to see what dinosaurs it contains, I think we might be able to refine better fuels.
For example, gasoline refined from oil made from mostly sauropods and big hulking slow dinosaurs might well have less energy content than that made from velociraptors and tyrannosauruses and other fearsome predators, which would naturally contain huge amounts of energy.
I don't think this area has been sufficiently explored.
