    They actually can’t if they wanted to. It would very quickly destroy modern fuel injection systems and completely clog catalytic converters. They’d almost instantly cripple most of the US by-

              They’ll just keep rebuilding engines. They’ll use old cars. It’s not going to end cars. People are too dependent on cars. The earth (as we know it) is dead. Nothing will stop it.
