Excerpt from The Use of Alcohol in Internal Combustion Engines: Thesis for the Degree of Mechanical Engineer in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, Presented June, 1906

The reports of the United States Geological Survey all lend strength to the belief that the supply of petroleum is fast becoming exhausted. The surveys show that while the oil fields are widely distributed, they are very limited in extent. The average percentage of gasolene in petroleum from all the oil fields in the world is less than two per cent. This fact, taken in connection with the constantly increasing demand and failing supply, makes it necessary to find a fuel that has unlimited possibilities of production.
