Unleaded Cristal

• https://www.ericpetersautos.com by Eric

Being rich, they dislike inconveniences, such as being tethered to a cord and enduring endless waits. Such things, as Leona Helmsley once put it, are "for the little people."

Those who aren't "little" will soon be able to buy Unleaded Cristal for their combustion-engined supercars – at about $20 per gallon, it is estimated. This would make it a bargain – relative to the Cristal, which goes for about $300 per bottle. But even if the unleaded variety did cost the same – or more – it would not hobble the people who can afford a new Ferrari or Porsche. Spending even $1,000 to fill the tank is peanuts for the person who can afford to spend $250,000-plus on the car.

But what is Unleaded Cristal?

It is a variety of "carbon neutral" gasoline extracted from the air via the Fischer-Tropsch Process, something that sounds like a sinister plot element from Phillip Dick's alternate reality novel, The Man in the High Castle – in which the Germans (and the Japanese) won the war.
