The only thing I haven't figured is how to get the proper octane mix.
Damn, you can tell you're an ex-Para, I want you on my team That's a great idea. Snag is what happens when the gas stations run dry, presuming other people have a similar idea and writing off a number of gas stations due to fires, which of course will burn out of control once started (another hazard), but it's certainly a good short to medium term solution.
