I don't believe in peak oil, I don't think it comes from dinosaurs either. I think the planet produces it.
I researched highly efficient carbs many years ago, found many stories of 100+ mpg, some even more.
The trick seems to be vaporizing the fuel before it enters the engine.

I am not going to try to convince you but I do think it is possible. There is monetary incentive to keep vehicles sucking gasoline.
'Dinosaurs' is like the kids level explaination, it's prehistoric krill in most cases IIRC and coal is prehistoric swamp/forest.
technically from what I understand it comes from soils with organic matter being subjected to high pressure and heat over periods of time, which would make sense, you can turn organic waste like corn stalks and stuff into gasoline and oil by burning it and condensing smoke etc.
I think the real reason they call it fossil fuel is so we all think it's not a resource that we as a society are never really going to run out of, but we could actually "create" oil pockets for future generations if we could manage to get far enough into the soil layers to deposit organic matter directly, rather then waiting for it to get there by "layering" of dirt over vast amounts of time.
imo at least.
oil doesnt even come from living creatures, it naturally occurs in new crust
I'd be curious to see what the emissions would look like. The description makes me think of a natural gas or propane set up, it's just not a pressurized gas.
Sure it's possible.
Organic material without the presence of oxygen becomes petroleum under certain circumstances. Mostly involving time, and a lack of oxygen. Our petroleum was formed in the Carboniferous period, before oxygen was a big part of the atmosphere. So its mostly algae/plankton that died hundreda of millions of years ago, sank to to the bottom of the ocean.
