Look back at history, like the Chrysler Turbine Car, noted was how it would run on any burnable fuel BUT it main problem was it lack of service needed and its projected million miles life.

In a couple of the articles they even said "We honor the high octain gas and the ICE."

And how about the Saturn Electric Car, same problem, lack of parts and service needs.

Consider our printers many have ought on that they nearly give the printer away so they can make money selling us ink.

Again I will point out this article to new comers:

The Silver Bear Cafe

Read it and do some research on all of this.
