Charcoal gas as a fair gasoline substitute for farm machines
Tests show a charcoal gas generator can power a station wagon for 800 miles with about 65 percent of gasoline power. Fuel costs run near 20 cents per 15 miles, and the system works with a gasoline carburetor and a gasogene unit. The device is practical where fuel is scarce, but less powerful and dirtier than gasoline, with limited civilian use postwar.
