For the most part octane gives gasoline its power. When it goes into your engine, it explodes (it's a small controlled explosion) that pushes a piston. The pushing motion is the detail that powers all of the parts of your car, the wheels, the radio, the windows. Cars were designed to run on gasoline, so if you want to use something else, you'd have to design an entirely new type of car. This would be very expensive. The reason we use gasoline is that it's relatively cheap to extract, refine, transport, and store.

Your idea would bring prices of gasoline down but raise the prices of shopping bags. Also, the proportion of oil that goes towards plastics is pretty tiny, so it wouldn't have that much of an impact on gasoline.

Economic theory suggests that overall, we're running as cheaply as we can. If there were a way to bring down gas prices while keeping all other prices at the same level, someone would find it so that they could make a profit.

My friend invented a device you put on the end off your muffler and then it take that exhaust and then uses that again to make double the gas in your tank. Hes already sold it to toyota and they gave him like $60,000,000 for it. He mad it for his tractor then his friends wanted one for theres and then he made them on then he said I wonder if it will work on a car? and it did!
