In keeping with your original post did you know that both Henry Ford and Rudolf Diesel (Funnily enough) both were against the notion that auto-mobiles needed top be run on Gasoline.

Henry Ford's Hemp Car
Henry Ford: 1863 - 1947

Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on HEMP gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONSTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
