So if you were to go through all this trouble of modifying your engine to run optimally with this stuff (which it sounds like they had to do even with crude 40's cars), where would you get large quantities of methane gas? Would your car even be able to switch over to a different fuel on the fly?

CNG does sound like a much better solution. Can you modify a gas engine to run it?
