Matching Future Automotive Fuels and Engines for Optimum Energy Efficiency

In the future, if fuels from different sources (oil shale, coal, nuclear, biomass) are to be used in automobiles powered by current and alternative engines, we must be concerned with minimizing the overall energy expenditure for converting primary energy sources to power at the wheels. It is recognized, however, that many other factors, including environmental concerns, economics, and politics will have strong, and perhaps overriding influences on the final decision about which fuel-engine combinations should be and will be utilized.
