What fuel gives you the biggest bank for buck?
That is using an icb how much work will a litre of fuel give you.

Diesel
Petrol
LPG
LNG

in order of increasing specific energy (MJ/L)

1 .LNG (25.5)
2 .LPG (26.8)
3. Petrol (34.5)
4. Diesel (38.5)

there are however a range of other efficiency issues related engine type – and I expect this is probably more in line with where your question is going…

Only for landrovers

‘Bang for the buck’ implies kilometres per dollar. Considering that LNG is difficult to find at service stations, LPG would probably be the answer.

Uranium, Plutonium?

The specific energy of coals varies considerably depending a number of factors, but the Newcastle Thermal Benchmark is set at 6,300kCal/kg (26,350 GJ/kg).

re: what fuel?

Anything that gives energy. we need any or all of it that we can safely utilise.

What cost? Who gives a rat’s arse. We need to do it now.
