Re, Reminds me of the article where they built ICE but no one ever asked anyone if there was enough crude. It was ASSUMED that all demand for petrol for the ice would be met.

Gasoline was initially discardedEdwin Drake dug the first crude oil well in Pennsylvania in 1859 and distilled the oil to produce kerosene for lighting. Although other petroleum products, including gasoline, were also produced in the distillation process, Drake had no use for the gasoline and other products, so he discarded them. It wasn't until 1892, with the invention of the automobile, that gasoline was recognized as a valuable fuel. By 1920, 9 million vehicles powered by gasoline were on the road, and service stations selling gasoline were opening around the country. Today, gasoline is the fuel for nearly all light-duty vehicles in the United States.

Vehicles have changed a lot. Their fuel? Not so much.

Cars have been tied to gasoline for most of their history, but fuel tech keeps evolving.
