Just came across this video on YouTube which recently test drove an S550 Mustang GT in the UK using a carbon-neutral based synthetic fuel developed by British lab developer Coryton... If synthetic fuels, such as this carbon-neutral type can become financially affordable for the masses globally? Synthetic made fuels can save both the environment and most of all, save our beloved V8 powered Mustangs for many great years yet to come... In the meantime, I'd be very interested in all opinions and feedback...

Rather B.Blown

Only question I have is what deleterious effects does it do to an engine.

^^ Yes, it's the long term testing that no one can guesstimate, even the so called experts. A hard pass before I would even think about it. They can rave about it all they want. Let me know in 2044.

What if So Called Fossil Fuels Were Actually a Naturally Occurring Function of the The Firmament Not Actually The By Product of Long Dead Dinosaurs and Was Not Not in Short Supply But Renews itself. I Guess it Would Be a Whole Lot Cheaper Would it Not. Of Course The Oil Companies If They Knew Would tell Us That Would They Not.

Just Wondering. Of Course in a World So Based in Honesty & Betterment For Their Fellow Man Such a Concept is Wild!

Assuming you viewed the video in its entirety, it was also mentioned they're in the process of beginning the second stage of development.... From what I gather from the video, is this carbon-neutral based synthetic fuel is not some form of e-fuel similar to what Porsche is looking to develop from scratch, but rather is a form of biofuel... At any rate, I'd much rather see companies like Coryton fully develop some form of bio or synthetic based fuels that can become fully compatible to work in an internal combustion engine, much in the very same way as full synthetic motor oil has for decades as an alternative for replacing fossil fuels... Or would you rather settle for the demise of the internal combustion engine altogether in favor of all electric powered vehicles...

^^^ I'd rather EVERYONE leave ICE alone completely until the entire world gets onboard with the same agenda. Since China, Russia, Africa, India, etc.... don't give a rat's *** about fossil fuels, I don't want to hear a thing about it. Once the US is gone, and we are heading that way, will anyone be thinking climate change and fossil fuels? This country better wake the **** up Fossil fuels and climate BS are the least of our current troubles.

Same here, as I'm up to my neck with those pressuring our automakers to meet their BS climate change agenda by pushing EV production down our throats, should realize that the materials used to produce these Lithium-Ion batteries will also have an impact on climate change, especially once they're no longer usable... What's going to happen once they begin to degrade sitting in landfills? For those who run this country should be more concerned with developing synthetic or biofuels that are 100% compatible for our existing ICE vehicles if they're so concerned about climate change... Look at how many EV's have ended up catching on fire due from overheating in addition to breaking down due to OS malfunctions... If that isn't enough to be concerned over, what about the potential of the EV's operating systems being hacked into.... And also, just as you brought up, all this climate change/Fossil fuel agenda BS are the least of our current problems...

Bert

well, there's just one minor problem: this magic juice costs $10,000 per gallon, LOL

m05fastbackGT

What source are you referring to, is Coryton labs confirming this? Although this could be accurate during the experimental/testing process, but if and when it becomes officially approved for global usage? the prices will come down and become more affordable to the public... Wonder how much synthetic motor oils cost while still during the experimental/testing process, I'm sure it was also quite expensive as well... LOL

^^^^^ Previously submitted from post #1

Bert

I made it up, half joking .... but right now I would give you odds that my guesstimate is on the low side .... I didn't watch the whole thing, but I saw no mention of the cost, and that usually means the cost is ridiculous

m05fastbackGT

I also didn't notice any mention of the cost either unless I somehow missed it during the video... Anyhow, just thought it could be a possible alternative for saving the ICE and for keeping our V8 powered Mustangs alive for many more years yet to come...

In the meantime, thanks for clarifying.

Nothing Wrong With Your Op. I think We are All Just a Bit Sensitive To All The Political Non-Sense In Regards To Just About Everything Going on in The World at Present. Everything has an Agenda and Are Built on Lies & Deception. Never Before in My Life Have I Been As Disgusted with The Lies in Just About any Situation Handled By Our Bought & Paid For Politicians. Don't Sweat The Posts we are All Ragged from The World at Large. We are All Fighting Battles of Some Type and Just Trying To get By.

Oh and The Latest on Our Wonderful EV'S is The Emit Rf Like Standing Next to Your Microwave. So They Can Cook You By Fire or Radiation!

Bert

absolutely agreed! since we probably stand no chance of overcoming the major powers that be (WEF and all those elite clowns) this could be our "escape hatch" .... even if it's $10/gallon, it could work for a Sunday blast around the block

I also doubt it is truly "net zero" but if the authorities buy it, that's all that matters

m05fastbackGT

Perhaps another long shot for saving the ICE... Here's Porsche's plan for keeping their gas-powered vehicles on the road with synthetic e-fuels...

As I'm old, and most of you are still pups , I remember a situation way back when. There was a company tied to racing (Holman & Moody) that invented a carburetor that supposedly would increase mpgs. It was being tested, seemed to be working well, and then it went away. Come to find out the big boy oil companies got together, and both the patent. It was never heard from again. Just thought I'd add this as a little food for thought. I don't think many of us will live long to see if this new fangled fuel come to market.

As a side note. At the introduction of "ethanol" I had just bought my wife a new Subaru (yep, way back in 1980 and a **** good little car). I stopped by a service sation to get gas, and didn't know they had already filled their tank with the stuff. About 50 miles latter the car started running really rough. Took it to the dealer, and he said the carb was messed up. So, he replaced it, and I didn't stop at that station again. Of course no one thought about what that crap would do to an engine that wasn't designed to run corn syrup.

If you consider 65 as still a pup, then so be it LOL... As for not thinking many of us will live long enough to see if these new-fangled fuels come to market? I'm sure the very same was also said about Electric Vehicles 10-15 years ago, but yet they have in fact arrived and come to market.

It is said that history does in fact repeat itself... Therefore, let's hope the Electric Car fails once again, just as it failed 100 years ago!
