Unfortunately, it comes out that it is not.

What if we have to produce gasoline from oil onboard? Do you think it would be an option? Probably not also.

That is my point.

I donīt discard it "a priori" because of The Law. I discard it because it is not efficient. And if gasoline had to be refined on board, I would probably have to discard it too.

That is my point. I try to be rigorous.

My limited English makes me difficult to express myself.
