I figure in those circumstances, people would just modify their car engines to run on methanol, or
canola oil, or coal dust, or Chanel No. 5 if they have to. Actually, R&D in biofuel is still ongoing

This thread kinda reminded me of "The Grapes of Wrath", especially the parts about the mad scramble
