Liberty Fuel Promoted As Gasoline Substitute
The War Department reveals Liberty Fuel a kerosene based gasoline substitute selling at two-fifths of gasoline cost. Captain Weisgerber leads its distribution under government control while tests show higher thermal efficiency and cooler exhaust. Motorcycle and three ton test results are cited with improved mileage and reduced water and lubrication needs. Process remains secret but government holds the rights for wartime use to divert gasoline to the front.
