Uh, propane?

A product of petroleum.

LNG?

Can't carry LNG in a vehicle as it has to vent to maintain
temperature. Natural gas won't liquify under pressure alone as propane
will. Price and availability is also controled by the same energy
brokers as oil is.

Gasoline too needs a vent. The fact that there has been LNG (also called
autogas) available throughout most of Europe for decades proves it can be
done. Since I have an affinity for Holland, here is a Dutch link:
http://www.autogas.nl

Link didn't help, as I don't know Dutch, searching elsewhere....

Ok, I'm wrong about the usefulness of LNG as a fuel,
I can see that it may have a place in urban areas. I don't see that
it would help cost with the cost of fuel, or that anybody would
put in the infrasturcture to make it widely available in the US.

At least not until the last drop of oil has been burned.
